New Hampshire for the win.  This 550i is a second hand enthusiast’s dream.  It has the V8.  It has the 6 speed.  AND it is not an xDrive.  Obviously a special order from Munich.

This car is so perfect, I just assumed it would be an xDrive until I started writing this post and had to go back and check.  It deserves a full size interior photo, too.

A manual E39 isn’t that hard to find.  There are just enough 540i sports that someone can always find one on Craigslist or AutoTrader.  But an F10? No way.  This thing will be one-of-a-kind always and forever.
