yep.... we don't get the 535 down here. i chose the 540 deliberately, as after all the problems I had with the detonation of my 4.8is (as opposed to our 3.0 X5 which has never missed a beat), I will not buy a high performance model ever again.
As the 550 has the same engine as my 4.8, and I am a pretty conservative driver, the 540 is enough (think its around 225kw).
Thanks to you all for kind words and support over time. It has been a real mission to get this sorted and when you drive a lemon every day makes you kind of annoyed each day.
Now my wife and I are both excited and looking forward to our new cars..... which is a really GOOD feeling each day..
