Bluestone Metallic with some MPerf black and carbon fiber parts... Dealer lighting was coloured so pickup pics are a bit weird colour-wise but all I have at the moment, it's pouring rain like here so no opportunities to get better ones for at least a few days.

Wheels from the F10 will not fit the G30 because of different bolt pattern. It's 5x112 on the G30.

What a stunning car. I saw an M550i driving to work the other day and couldn't stop staring at the car and also the driver - I'm sure he thought I was a creep.

That interior is absolutely blissful - I really need to drive one as I've been meaning to get to the dealership and take a 5 Series out for a spin!!!


Thoughts on the F30 335i vs M550i? Size, comfort, engagement and also eye candy would be the biggest questions I have

You definitely feel the bigger size. Handling wise the M550i surprised me, maybe its the rear wheel steering but it feels pretty nimble. Not as nimble as the 3er ofc. Comfort wise 550 is on another level and the eye candy + the way it makes you feel while driving is pretty awesome. I have the stage 1 installed on the 550 so it's absolutely no comparison in terms of power, scary how fast such a big car can accelerate.

To me it's back and forth on M3 ZCP + HAS + Exec + carbon M front / rear and the M550i. Price close to same. The bells/whistles/luxury of 550 vs True "M" car. I literally flip flop on a daily basis.

Matte Wrapped M550i

Took delivery a few weeks back and then straight to the detailer. Wrapped in Expel Stealth film. Had the dealer paint the side vent covers and rear bumper trim. Added carbon fiber diffuser. A few other changes and a few more to do. Thought I would post some pics now and some when complete later.

Looks great! Really like the carbon rear diffuser! Your "StormTrooper" look is beautiful! Hopefully I won't get sick of Sapphire Black and long for Alpine White which is my usual go to color...!!

First Time White

I hear you Alpine Missile. The lightest color car I have owned in my life is dark grey. Here is the rest of my garage. Felt like something different.

We were in that dilemma shopping for my wife; '18 AW M3 ZCP or '18 M550i. The thought of having another M3 was going to be his YMB and her AW. After my wife test drove stock ZCP M3 and M550i, she went with M550i. ZCP was too stiff and too sport for her.

After having driven M550 on and off for almost a month, I would mind daily M550i over M3 anyday. While M3 is special in its own right, M550 has both the comfort and the power to boot.

Cheers,
