Congratulations! You definitely want to give LC a try. I bought my 2018 M550i last summer (CPO as well). I'd previously had a 2015 328i and thought that was a blast to drive. The M550i is unreal. I also have a Factory Five Racing Cobra replica that I built that will do 0-60 in the 3-4 second range, but only if you can keep the tires from spinning. With LC and AWD, the M550i is easy to get that 4 second 0-60.

Congrats on the car!! I can tell you so far with 20k miles I haven't had an issue. I went from F10 M5 to this new, meaning I got right into lite/ moderate driving during break in. At 4K miles I did Dinnan until about 7k miles and went to Evolve for a stage 1 tune. I don't abuse the car but I do spirited runs and I have yet to have a single issue knock on wood. These cars, trans, and brakes are solid. Previous BMWs I've had multiple turbo replacements under warranty but I feel like they made the G30's really well. So in short use LC, and have fun with it and don't stress yourself about it. I mean they give you LC instructions on page 28 of the manual (I if memory serves me right).

Enjoy they car! It's fast and safe!

write buyer a bill of sale specifying wire transfer to your bank account
and that car will be released upon receipt of same.
$$ should be in next day the latest.
then, only upon funds receipt, sign the title over and give them the car.
