Post M550i pics...

Seems like not many here have the M550? Would love to see more pics.....none of the dealers around here have them in person and quite honestly I've only seen 4-5 G30's overall around here. Bit surprising.....

Here are a few pics of mine!

In order:
1. View from owner waiting area at the Welt
2. Me and the car at the Welt
3. Not the official Bimmerfest Neuschwanstein photo spot ;-)
4. Parking garage at Luitpoldpark Hotel in Fussen (was I being overprotective?)
5. Stuck in traffic on the A6 (we probably moved 1km in about an hour that afternoon - thank GOD for Ikea and GPS! Ikea == Bathroom; GPS == new route)
6. Some little farm road in France, near Chalons en Champagne

Let's see if this works...If the videos don't work, feel free to PM me. Especially if you're better at Facebook than I am, I'm open to advice on how to get the videos visible.

1. My victory lap at the Welt
2. One of my "top-speed" runs.

Most of my 'high-speed' runs were just like that. Seemed like the faster you go, the faster you catch up to slower traffic! At least this thing has monster brakes!

I'd love to see more pics too. I think most of the early deliveries have placed pics here under the appropriate color configs => http://g30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1359629

Thanks for the compliment. Just wish I had a modicum of artistic creativity, so I know my picture taking isn't the best.

And, yes, I did get Remote Parking, but (IMHO) it doesn't help much for getting *into* the parking spot - at least in German garages. Remote Parking stops about 12-14 inches from the wall, and with as large as this car is (comparatively, to most European cars), that still left a good chunk of the nose sticking out. So, I "old-schooled it" (aka, backed in myself) to get about 2-3 inches from the wall and leave less sticking out up front.

That said, I did actually need remote parking once. We stopped in Kaiserslautern for dinner, and when we got back to the car someone had parked too close for me to comfortably get in without banging doors. So, I used remote parking to pull out of the parking spot.

I kinda agree that 99% of the time it's a fun gimmick to show friends and not much more (though I think Tesla more than one-ups BMW in terms of functionality). But every once in a while it can come in handy.

Car looks great Trey! I really want to see the full digital dash and those wheels in person since those just started arriving at dealers with those options last month I think.

Stock 19's. I'm in New York where the roads are crap, went through 7 tires on my last 550, not going through that again.

I can’t believe how much this car has grown on me! I freakin love it!!! I’ve been a 3 series guy my whole life so I just can’t wrap my head over how much bigger this car would be for me. It doesn’t help that I’m toying around in a Golf GTI either. I got spoiled with easy parking and getting into right spaces.

if you want a display key, which i imagine many people do, it doesn't make any sense to not get it. that goes double if you are leasing the car. the key itself is like $400. at least that's what my dealer told me. the remote parking feature is $750 and includes the display key. if you are leasing, more than half of the price of the remote parking option, and by extension the display key, is residualized and you only add on around $350 total to your payments. i'm leasing my 5 series and i got the remote parking option because the math just made sense.

plus it's a cool party trick. not a panty dropper, but definitely pretty cool.
