  1. Hi everyone, I thought I should say since I've only recently joined. I've been thoroughly enjoying reading through all the posts and seeing some beautiful machines here. I started my driving life with a 1984 E30 318i. Such a fantastic analog car to learn to drive in. Alas, that was over 20 years ago, and until now I haven't had the joy of owning another one. I've had my F07 550GT for 9 months, and I love this car. Yea, she has a few quirks, and has cost me a few dollars, but in terms of comfort coupled with her ability for outright speed, I couldn't be happier. Having never owned something with the power as this car has, I have strangely found that I'm quite happy cruising behind slow cars with the knowledge that if I want to, I can easily go past, but mostly don't. Of course I'm certainly aware that I do have the N63B44O0 engine, with all the potential problems that entails. The previous owner has had the stem seals replaced, along with alternator, starter and water pump. I do know I'm up for expensive repairs if something does come up with the N63, I do look after it, with regular services and maintenance. The only change I have made is the muffler delete, and while a little louder than I thought it was going to be, I do love the sound of that v8. I think the tips do look the part. Such a well made and solid vehicle with the nice touches such as soft close, and electric seats front and back (it is a 4 seater). I do have a couple of plans for the future, such as a tune to unlock some more power, but for now I do really love just getting in, pushing that start button, and going for a drive. Oh, my partner is also a BMW owner with her 2010 X1 sdrive18i. Both cars in sapphire black. Anyway, that's me, and I look forward to meeting and talking with you all in the future.
