As the title says, I sold my G37s 6MT Coupe a couple days ago. She was an amazing machine, but with a new job further away and having to deal with traffic I needed something a little more practical. So I said my goodbyes and was able to pick up a BMW 550i for a great price. Which means another fun build. She is still at the dealership waiting to be picked up today but so far on my list of things to get is tint, black kidney grilles, painted reflectors, afe intake and some lowering springs.

You guys are my favorite online community though so I will always stick around

My old G37s Coupe...





The new BMW 550i

 

You and I have different definitions of "a little more practical", and you certainly seem to have a type when it comes to choosing car colors! Does this mean you're leaving us?

 

Nice looking bimmer. E60? I'm over at bimmerforums.com but in the e34 subsection. Also on e90post.com (but in the E90 subsection) haha.

 

hahaha! more practical to me is more comfortable and an automatic Heck no! I love it here. I will just split my time between here and 5series.net

 

Yeah E60. Oh nice I on e90post everyday for work. What bimmer do you have?

 

Must have a thing for blue cars eh? I've drove the 5 series and they're definitely comfortable, and the car itself drives pretty sporty compared to other sedans.

 

why not a new one? 535I M Sport looks sick. I have a F30 335I M sport.

 

Im honestly not a fan of the F10 models. They drive like boats and cost double. I rather save a little on buying the car and have plenty for a build then spending my top dollar on a brand new one.

F30s are sweet looking though. I checked them out for a lease but the penalty for going over the mileage was crazy high and I drive too much for a 12k a year limit.

 

How much did it cost and what mods do you have planned?

PS: why was the G37S not practical?

 

Loads of stuff..See the first post for a starter list. It was a 6mt and now that I drive further to work in traffic it wasnt working out for me.

 

Are those LI I see on your g37?

 

Nice 5, your G was really well thought out and looked great, hopefully it went to a good home. Bet your 5 will be tastefully transformed as well. Practicality be damned

 

Thanks It did. She will be well taken car of!

 

Oh man, you should've just got the M5.. They are also in the 20-30k range used... !

 

The 550 is a sharp looking car. Im not a Bimmer guy myself but I do like that car. Keep us updated on how it compares to the G (obviously it will have a few more bells and whistles since it's newer). Also interested to hear how reliable it is overtime.
