Went off to find her an X5 SUV and came home with this:
550i / TT V8 / 6speed manual (the 6 spd was my influence)
So comfortable

We got rid of her C63 AMG which rode like a lumber wagon.

blackmsport · 25 September 2011, 09:11 AM

Very nice 6 speed manual is rare

East Bay Rider · 25 September 2011, 09:23 AM

Gorgeous car.

betrezra · 25 September 2011, 09:24 AM

thx b-m and Eastbay!

We just walked in and saw this in the back-lot..... and it turns out to be the exact car colors/options we would have special ordered. Sometimes you get lucky.

I might just be turned into a bmw-man.

HL65 · 25 September 2011, 09:26 AM

Very nice- congrats to her!!

sleddog · 25 September 2011, 09:27 AM

I'm thinkin' the wife is going to have to compete on drive time with you on this one!!

Nice car!

dalip · 25 September 2011, 09:33 AM

Lovely car.

kcmo · 25 September 2011, 09:41 AM

Vetteman · 25 September 2011, 09:51 AM

Sweet

betrezra · 25 September 2011, 09:59 AM

While she was working up the paperwork..... I had some "dreaming" seat time in the 7 series........... soooo plush. Def on the dream list for an older more sophisticated version of myself someday :)

drtooth73 · 25 September 2011, 10:00 AM

Nice choice!

BNA/LION · 25 September 2011, 10:03 AM

Now you have to name her or and least give her a nick-name. My Wife calls her BMW "Baby B" Congratz!

betrezra · 25 September 2011, 10:19 AM

Wife's on top of that..... introducing "Benny - Beeeemer".

CoopJr · 25 September 2011, 10:42 AM

Very nice

FeelingTheBlues · 25 September 2011, 10:50 AM

As a BMW fan, I must congratulate you and wish your wife a jolly good time behind that wheel!

Frogman4me · 25 September 2011, 10:58 AM

6 speed as well, awesome! Congrats to you and your wife. cheers

cruvon · 25 September 2011, 10:59 AM

Nice work my friend! Now no lead footing please...

Brunotheboxer · 25 September 2011, 11:23 AM

A girl that can drive a 6 speed. That's hott.

I'd like to teach my wife but she really doesn't care to learn. She won't even drive my BMW with a dual clutch tranny.

Lisa · 25 September 2011, 11:34 AM

She must be over the moon! Beautiful car.

betrezra · 25 September 2011, 12:03 PM

She's pretty happy........ time to sleep and get up early for a little test drive :) :)

Sperry · 25 September 2011, 12:55 PM

That paint is deep enough to dive into!

jhilly8982 · 25 September 2011, 12:59 PM

nice car, I actually went to the dealership today looking to get an X5 and did!

betrezra · 25 September 2011, 01:09 PM

congrats Jhilly!
I wish I could transmit the smell of new leather through the internet for you guys...... so fresh.

TSW · 25 September 2011, 04:41 PM

My wife can't drive my Audi A-4 5 speed for some reason. She can drive my vintage Bug, but not the Audi. Beautiful BMW, that 6 speed must get great gas mileage on the freeway.

betrezra · 25 September 2011, 07:52 PM

I enjoy spoiling my wife. Nothing makes me happier than to make her cry......... from joy ;) :)

Just Released:
STAGE 1 PERFORMANCE ENGINE SOFTWARE/BOOST UPGRADE (550I ONLY)
The legendary 5 Series has been reincarnated with the F10 chassis and the N63 4.4L V8 turbo motor. The beauty of the turbo motor is its ability to be tuned to make impressive gains just by upgrading the engine software and the N63 motor is no different.

The results of Dinan’s tuning are nothing short of breathtaking, with the added boost and related re-calibration producing a maximum output of 495 horsepower at 5000 rpm and 573 lb-ft torque at 3500 rpm.

The Dinan Performance Engine Software safely increases turbo-boost pressure from the stock 9.8 to 14.0 psi, along with properly retuned fuel mixtures, ignition timing and full map rescaling. In fact, over 2000 lines of code have been addressed, producing substantial increases in power output while maintaining the civility and reliability expected of a Dinan performance product.

With Dinan’s software, your 550i will be capable of achieving its natural top speed as the governor has been removed. And as always, Dinan matches the new car warranty coverage for up to 4 years or 50,000 miles, including the possibility of consequential damages. No one offers better performance or backs it up with such comprehensive warranty coverage.

$2999

------

I wonder if she would notice : ):)

I might get the Dinan Stage 1 tune after the warranty is up just for kicks.
