Golfer Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Ordered my new F10 550i M-Sport in Space grey Oyster leather and Black interior. Added all the goodies including 351M 19" sport alloys, should look good. Arrival time xmas so pictures will follow around then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 That amount of wait would have me pulling my hair out! Look forward to seeing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Nice one. Don't think I've seen a new model M Sport out and about yet, will be interested to see how it looks compared to the SE - which is possibly the only new BMW I actually like the looks of! The Oyster/black interior looks gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Lovely choice of car. I like the Space Grey too but I'd have had to had a more girly interior colour, obviously. Beige, before people say it. Oh hang on, I misread that. Excellent choice after all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfer Posted January 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Quick update, I just got back from Egypt and expected to pick the new 550i MS up :mad: Some hopes, still at Thorne they say after ordering 10th October 2010. I still have their 1 series which is clocking up miles, but they do not see me getting mine till next Saturday at the earliest????? Still it will be a 2011 registered car. Happy new Year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfer Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Thanks guys, saturday is the day they say, ordered 10th October last year!!!, seems to be a very long wait. Still registered 2011 @ last years VAT can't be bad, I just specced the same car on BMW site and it's £64.5K:eek: Surely these prices can not be justified?.

garcon magnifique Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I've seen one or two in Space Grey now. I have to eat my words about the colour. It just seems a bit flat on the 3 series, but on the new 5 series it suits it brilliantly, highlighting the lines of what is a very good looking car.

Golfer Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Like that. A lot Thanks Mate, I hope to take some pictures BUT the weather so bad!!!, will try though. BMW still say NO other Orders for the 550i M Sport, It could have a good effect on RV, being rare, who knows, I am hoping to keep it for two years.........................................:Slap:....................................... well thats the plan, but you know me if I get a great offer I have given the new M5 a MISS, I just can't see in the UK getting any real use out of it without very high risk of getting nicked.

Biscuits Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Space Grey is a great colour for a car, Mini's and 996/7's all look fantastic... really shows off the contours of the car... and is easy to keep clean! Both the 535d and M3 were space grey... next BM will be probably too Edited January 12, 2011 by Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfer Posted January 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 :D Well what a Car.............. I took some pictures in this cr*p weather they are not worthy of print. The Car is Awesome that is the best word for it. I have only covered 50 miles quite quickly @ 80+ MPH mostly and got 29.7MPG in all that wind; I am taken back, it's almost silent in operation, comfort seats are just great, I may just keep this one. Power on tap from tick over and that's in NORMAL Mode.:D Speedo error showing 80MPH actual 78MPH. @ 82 MPH the RPM is 2000. That's idling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
