The 550i is a great long haul drive except for the mpg.
If I had a boxster S with an automatic tranny in it, it would be my DD and I would sell my BMW 550i for sure. My 2007 550i has just 54k on the odometer and it's already had a lot of maintenance done to it under warranty and now some more since it's out of warranty (power steering hoses, coolant hoses, power steering resoivoir, etc.) and now the AC condenser is making some noise.

This 550i must have been talking to my "everything needs replacing" 1997 boxster in the garage at night when I'm asleep! I should move the car to the carport so the boxster can't remain a bad influence on it. :ah:
