Review and thoughts ?
Comparison to the Audi?

Canuck99 · 01-11-2018, 03:38 PM

Congratulations, looking forward to seeing pics of the Individal Brown exterior. What options didn't you get ?

r33_RGSport · 01-11-2018, 07:57 PM

Congrats!!! Picture would be great.

Mr.blue · 01-11-2018, 08:36 PM

Congratulations! The Sq7 is a nice vehicle as well. What made you go for the sedan?

/// M sa · 01-11-2018, 10:00 PM

I got mine a month ago, fully loaded with all carbon goodies.. traded in my 2015 M3 and I am Blown away by this car. Is it heavy? Yes, do you feel it when you press the gas? Nope do you feel it Cornering at high speed? Yes, sport plus is just effortless when accelerating and the sound is awesome. White on black

Nivarox · 01-12-2018, 01:26 AM

Congrats,
That's properly a car packed with cool accessories
Happy Driving

I did not know you can get Carbon fiber interior as an option.
Definitely would have picked that.

I don't think you can, he didn't say what CF goodies he got, just that he got some...

No interior, all exterior

you can have someone wrap the interior with CF if you like.

PeterGriffin · 01-13-2018, 04:00 AM

I have not driven the car so much after picking it up from the dealer, but I love it. I have always driven 5-series sedans. Among other cars I have had E39 520i, 528i M-sport, 540iM/6 and M5. E60 I have had 4 535D M-Sport and 2 F10 535D, after that I got a little tired of the 5-series and bought me a 2016 XC90 D5 R-design, nice car but its drivetrain with 4 cylinders is absolutely rubbish in this car so I traded it in for the brand new SQ7 and now here I am, back in the 5-series.

Compared to the SQ7 this car is feels more luxurious and modern. The SQ7 is a great car but its not very fun to drive but it really does it job and sits stable on the road all the way to the limited topspeed of 267km/h (on the instrument cluster) quite impressive for a SUV. Compared to the BMW the MMI feels very outdated in the Audi. The one thing I miss is the volume knob on the center console =). But the Bose audiosystem in the Audi is a big Joke.

The M550i was a dealer spec car and I originally wanted to go with the caramel interior and more options but the dealer told me that its july production for all Merino leather individual interiors right now.
The options my car doesnt have is: TV, Dynamic handling package, although I don't miss it now, Garage door opener and M-Seatbelts. Thats it. The car I originally wanted to order at the dealer had those options also.
The dynamic handling package has the same suspension settings but it also offers dynamic drive and 4 wheel steering which for me isnt a must on a car tuned by M.

Beautiful car. Congrats!

There must be a retrofit Homelink mirror from BMW. It would drive me nuts to spoil that beautiful interior with my garage door opener.

AP · 01-13-2018, 06:40 AM

I do like that colour!
Congrats a very nice bit of kit indeed

SteveinArizona · 01-13-2018, 08:33 AM

Beautiful! Gorgeous. Great combo and car.

KoenG · 01-14-2018, 06:10 PM

Congrats! Incredible dream car! Exquise configuration, and very balanced colour scheme. I hope you enjoy it every time you drive it, or just even glance it on your drive yard...I know I would!

Mr.blue · 01-15-2018, 08:54 AM

Very nice, also love the trim color in the leather. I'm sure you won't see that exterior color often in the parking lots. Beautiful

UKF30 · 01-15-2018, 02:50 PM

Jaw dropping beauty mate , love it

PeterGriffin · 01-15-2018, 03:41 PM

Thanks for those nice comments.

babaikram · 01-15-2018, 03:50 PM

ALMANDINBRAUN METALLIC. Is this an individual colour. That your car is beautiful inside out.

PeterGriffin · 01-15-2018, 04:09 PM

Yes, this is an individual colour.

ztx84 · 01-15-2018, 04:09 PM

A wonderful car, what a spec list! I hope you enjoy it! Would love the 550 in the uk, but sadly we can’t order it from here.
