I think its done, I should be dropping my G off to a local dealership here this afternoon for a check. I will be getting on a plane tom morning, flying down to Charlotte, buying the 550i and driving it 5 1/2 - 6 hrs home. Unless something drastic happens here at the 11th hour, I think its a done deal...

 

congrats on the upgrade. hope you enjoy your new ride

 

Congrats, and enjoy that fuel bill!!

 

So is a dealer buying your car?

 

Congrats...550 is a sweet ride. What year, I think you said 2006?

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Wait, then you're out of nGc! HA!!!! Seriously, nice though!

 

Kevin, you crack me up! I might still come check out all your sweet Gs in the NGC!!!

Yeah, its an 06 550i. It looks like I am selling my car to a dealer for $26k. I would love to get more out of it, but I dont see anyone buying it outright from me without a trade-in in a timely manner. Its more than anyone is willing to give me as a trade on another car as well....

And thanks for all the well wishes!

I am already yelling at typical BMW ****** on the BMW forums. I think I will still be hanging out here, I hate the Bavarian is holier than though attitude with BMW owners!

 

are you parting with anything on your car?

 

They are buying it as is sits, wheels and all. If they dont want them, I might have some stock 17" tires and wheels with less than 2k miles to sell?!?!

 

lol i was looking to snag your front wheels only (the 19"s that is)...i'm thinking of going 20"s in the rear and 19"s in the front. thanks anyways though sean

 

Just go ahead with the 20s, i think it looks weird with 19/20s. The other guy did it and his front lips look tiny?!?! Not sure if its a diff offset than mine, or just b/c the rear lip on the 20s is so HUGE! Plus, rubber is usually cheaper for 20s.

 

yeah i think i might as well just do 20"s all around. yeah i did hear that tires for 19"s cost more than 20"s and 21"s more than 22"s...i guess cause they're a little less common. thanks for the advice

 

The 550 is a sweet ride. Although I think I would have been satisfied with your G. To each his own. Good luck with the new ride!

 

hope everything goes well for you and post some pics of the 550 ASAP

 

Dang that sucks! You should keep your ride!

My friend have a 07' 550i and few weeks ago my G beat his ride 0-60mph and 0-100mph, we did 3 runs he lost every time by at least half a car. I just installed k&n filters few days ago so... heh.
