Looks great! Throw some tint on it and you'd be perfect.

Also, did you paint the exhaust tips or was it that way when you got it? Looks

Waiting for someone to say "oh no! BMW's are so expensive to own! They have so many issues!! Fuuuuuuu!"

Congratulations man! This is definitely among what I'm considering next.

One of my friends went through a BMW phase, all in all he had about 4 BMWs I think 3,5 and 7 series all car were from mid 2000's, every one of them had one issue or another, for most part it was alot of electrical problems and paint on most interior plastics was pealing off (door seals, power window switches, etc.). Bottom line he said that he would never own another BMW again...

Tint and Clear Bra going on next week. Expensive sh!t. $700 for the clear bra to do the bumper, 24" of hood, partial fender, headlights, mirrors, door edges, and behind door handle. $200 to have the cheap tint installed on up to $500 for the "high performance tint" WTF! I feel like I am getting bent over already for owning a BMW.

The tips came that way.

Welcome to fellow BMW owner.

You'll love the 5 series, by far my favorite. I'm digging the new 5 Series also.

To be fully honest with you, BMW isn't the most reliable car brand out, and the resale value is poor. In terms, BMW and Benz is the worst German reliably makers. Porsche/Audi is pretty reliable, well better than Benz and BMW. But at the end of the day you have a luxurious 5 series that will make you smile. Enjoy.

Does the 550 have the same suspension as the M5? Or is that an option for that car?

My buddy had a 550i and traded it for an M3 because he does track days. We were talking about the 550 the other day saying how it's the ultimate daily driver! Congrats on a nice pick up!

I like the 5 Series...congratulation. It always reminds me of my beloved 2003 Nissan Maxima (gone but not forgotten) especially the front, both designed by Chris Bangle.

I just cannot stomach the interior design (especially the dash), I'm worried about reliatility and I want a real manual transmission in a sport sedan.
In addition to that I prefer an AWD car.
