During your average daily commute, you probably see quite a few vehicles. It's unlikely that any one car will stand out in your memory. Unless you happen to lay your eyes on this absolutely beautiful car – a carbon black metallic with beige leather interior and light Poplar wood trim 2008 BMW 550i with Sport Package, 6 speed manual transmission and iPod Connectivity. It is one of the most stunning cars on the road. From its upgraded stylish sport wheels to its Xenon headlights to its 4.8L V8 engine, there is little left to be desired in this fantastic marvel of modern engineering. This one owner BMW is in great shape and ready for you to take the wheel. What sets this 550i apart from others? It has several Priority One options as well as other customized options. Priority 1 Option: Upgraded beige Nasca leather (found in the 7 series and only in the 5 series by special request) Priority 1 Option: Ventilated front seats Priority 1 Option: Anthracite headliner Head-up Display Night Vision Camera Other ordered options beyond a basic 2008 BMW 550i: Cold Weather package: Heated steering wheel, heated front seats and retractable headlight washers Sport Package: 19” wheels with performance tires, sport leather steering wheel, Shadowline trim, comfort seats with lumbar support, sport suspension and aerodynamic package Rear side impact airbags Comfort Access Front ventilated seats Power rear shade and manual rear window shades Fold down rear seats Heated rear seats iPod and USB Adapter Navigation system (not all iDrive cars have navigation) HD Radio Satellite Radio Logic 7 Sound System Passenger side mounted umbrella holder and umbrella EXTERIOR: The exterior of the 550i is painted a stunning carbon black metallic which was only available with the 6 speed manual Sport Package. You can see the true deep blue of the paint in bright light. There are no scrapes or unsightly scratches. Under the hood lies a muscular powerhouse: a 4.8L DOHC V8 engine with 360 horsepower and 360 lb-ft of torque. Even with all that horsepower and torque, the 550i is one of the smoothest shifting V8’s on the road. And it still gets a remarkable 22 highway MPG! As mentioned before, upgraded M Sport wheels are wrapped in low profile tires that are in good condition and look great on the car. As part of the Sport Package, there is an upgraded suspension. The power adjustable, heated, body-color side-view mirrors are in excellent working condition as are the rain-sensing windshield wipers. Xenon adaptive headlights with dynamic, auto-leveling outfit the front of the car with Halogen free-form fog lights to help you in any weather. Since this is a 2008 model, it still has the remainder of its four year/50,000 mile basic and powertrain warranties left and 4 year/unlimited mile BMW Roadside Assistance Program. INTERIOR: The interior is outfitted in factory upgraded beige Nasca leather upholstery complemented by light Poplar wood trim. The 20-way power sport front multi-contour bucket seats feel comfortable and can be adjusted to fit you perfectly. It also has tri-zone automatic climate control with auto air circulation. One of the nicest features of this is the BMW iDrive system with on-board computer. Housed in this unit are on-screen visual controls for the climate, entertainment, phone, navigation and car settings. The upgraded Logic 7 Sound System includes HD radio and Satellite radio with CD player and changer and iPod connector. It sounds great through the ten speakers and two subwoofers. You can even listen to and control your iPod right through the iDrive system. The 550i has Park Distance Control (front and rear) with a graphic display through the iDrive system. The power tilt and slide moonroof has one touch open/close and a sliding sunshade. Other great features are continuous tire pressure monitoring, power windows and locks, Bluetooth wireless, alarm system, cruise control, courtesy lights, locking glovebox and cup holders. The car comes with factory books, floor mats, original laminated window sticker, navigation disc, two keys with built-in remote, car cover and car care kit.

The overall condition of the car is as close to new as possible. It has been impeccably maintained and regularly serviced by BMW. But keep in mind it is pre-owned and may show some signs of wear. We will be more than happy to go over the car panel by panel with you on the phone for any extra details. Think of the great savings you will have with this purchase. The MSRP for this car was $78,630 with all of its options. Now, just three years later, you can invest in a pre-owned BMW in great shape for much less. Be the proud owner of one of the most eye-catching cars on the road - your new 2008 BMW 550i! Why are we selling the car? Because we are moving to rural Colorado where the 550i would spend 6 months of the year parked in our garage due to snow and ice, and that just seems like a waste. Believe me, my wife is NOT happy about selling her car!
