 My 1st Day With My 550i!!!



hehehe.... just a quik heart warmin story bout my 1st day with my 1st BMW (just sold my Benz S500)... Picked up my 2006 550i yesterday afternoon... Black Sapphire w/Black Leather... Almost all options... Even had them install laser/radar JAMMER (K-40) at the dealership! So tight! So much car!... so me and my girlfriend drive off into the sunset, stop by my parents place to show off the new ride, stop by my boys place to show off the ride... okay... so we head out to this big art opening event... navi says we're 2 minutes away (literally) when I come across a detour in the road... cruise around a corner doin about 20mph... see a chunk of asphalt in the road the size of a basketball and steer around it... dont see the pot hole on the side of the road! yep! i blow out my 4 hour old tire! after sittin stunned on the side of the road for 5 minutes i hit the BMW roadside assist. they say an hour to send a tow truk to put my spare on for me... haha! i say i'll do it myself but after gettin out, an takin a closer look (it was dark!)... 2 blown tires! 2 drastically bent rims! well... my dealers closed today... closed tomorrow... long story short (lol) my new baby sits sadly in the parkin lot at the dealership. just wanted to vent i guess... oh well...

That Sucks! Wow, 2 blown tires and rims bent too. That must have been some pothole. Kinda' sounds like the 'DETOUR' signs got set up the wrong way!!!

Hang in there and enjoy the new ride!
Welcome to Bimmerfest!

I'm pretty sure you can sue the town for not taking care of the potholes, you can vent your anger like that if it helps.

Yeah... called my lawyer today and he said the same... he also happens to know the town attorney so... guess i'll keep my fingers crossed till i hear back... BMW says they're gonna order new rims and fix my ride ASAP... can't wait to get it back!

I thought the 550 came with run flats? You have a spare in the trunk?

Buy the manual or automatic?
