Dropped the 550 off at the dealership for some service and there sitting waiting in the delivery bay was the new 2012 all ready for pickup. Too bad I do not have the time to actually pick the car up today but looks like tomorrow is going to work. I did get a nice surprise today, my Adviser told me that since the 2012 spec'd out the same was cheaper, BMW added some extra options to make up for the deficiency.
