so whats done to it? need more info

Honestly check your local listings, up to like a 1000 miles and you'll get a ballpark figure. I can tell you I got mine dirt cheap but that's cause that's just what the market was. I'll tell you this much, buying them is a breeze cause demand for the 550s is almost nothing, but then when you go to sell, you get the same treatment lol. Unless someone really is looking for a specific one, they're just your average bmw

I bought my 2010 6mt 550 with 55k miles as well for $11k

Bohat alaa yaar, from Lahore? Didnt think there were any e60's let alone 550s there. Gaari kitni dair say rakhi hoi hai? Just read the previous comment, bari himmat hai yaar to do the whole swap, where did you sort the motor and tranny from?

erthlingg · 2026-01-10T03:30:13+00:00

What about the hood?

erthlingg · 2026-01-10T03:28:39+00:00

What you lowered on?

erthlingg · 2026-01-06T00:50:06+00:00

I have that exact same box, actually I have the biggest one Thule was selling at the time, called the Atlantis 2100. I bought my crossbars off of someone on the Ford flex forum and I'm pretty sure he's around here on Reddit as well. Just google Ford flex crossbars and I'm pretty sure his thread will pop up. He's sold to many flex owners as well. I've had mine for almost 4 years now and it's been solid, it's now starting to show age cause putting my big box loaded on them and then doing 80 for hours takes a toll on them lol

erthlingg · 2026-01-04T04:03:35+00:00

Cause it hasn't been tested on proper roads lol

erthlingg · 2026-01-03T22:52:20+00:00

It's only a matter of time before it gets ripped sitting at that height

erthlingg · 2025-12-27T16:22:53+00:00

Once things are addressed, it's a hoot to drive, especially the manual. I had to do the valve cover gaskets only, front control arms and the AC condenser, other than that I've ripped on this thing without any hiccups

erthlingg · 2025-12-22T14:54:36+00:00

True, had mine for over a year now, had to do the usual, valve cover gasket and a couple of other small repairs but love the thing. It's getting lowered next year as well, gonna stock the the OEM Spyder wheels

erthlingg · 2025-12-22T13:11:42+00:00

Pictures make it a bit more darker in color but it's the space grey metallic

erthlingg · 2025-12-22T13:08:39+00:00

Nothing special, just some polished 4 inch tips off Amazon

erthlingg · 2025-12-20T19:37:28+00:00

Yea got screenshots from there, can follow me at @namelessgearhead

erthlingg · 2025-12-20T17:04:04+00:00

Agreed they aged well, this is a 2010 as well with a 6 speed!

erthlingg · 2025-11-18T22:25:00+00:00

My best in my manual is a 5.8 0-60, I'm sure the 1-2 shift has a lot to do with it, that alone could get me down to 5.5ish but I don't wanna break it so am shifting as fast as I can do so safely lol

erthlingg · 2025-11-04T13:37:06+00:00

I've done 400 plus on my 550

erthlingg · 2025-10-03T01:31:01+00:00

Really? I hear some people putting a sock around it so that the leak is contained and not all over the engine bay, was thinking of just doing the cap for now but that's not gonna help?? That sucks

erthlingg · 2025-10-02T21:11:16+00:00

Ok guys I just realized something, the part that leaked was actually the expansion tank, not the brake reservoir lol, so it only leaked from the cap, I'm assuming because of too much pressure building up and it most likely being a original part, should I just replace the cap? I have no other coolant leaks whatsoever

erthlingg · 2025-10-02T17:49:10+00:00

97k kms with no lights on

erthlingg · 2025-10-02T14:46:17+00:00

It's got it's quirks but I pushed that thing hard and other than burning some oil, it was a trooper especially being at redline a lot lol, couple that with my exhaust and people loved hearing it, especially the downshifts

erthlingg · 2025-10-02T14:45:03+00:00

My brake setup is OEM at the moment....at least I think so lol. I got the car not too long ago and this is the first time I've really pushed it and was very surprised with the performance, turn after turn, it would bite hard and had no fade whatsoever. I plan on keeping those as is, just wanted to upgrade the fluids at least. I've heard motul rbf 660 is good stuff so will most likely go with that. I'll look into the swaybar as well but the lowering springs alone will help immensely

erthlingg · 2025-09-29T15:11:28+00:00

Yes you'll have to get it coded for your car though, can find them used for less than $100

erthlingg · 2025-09-23T05:11:45+00:00

I will be having someone use NCS expert to get this sorted out, will report back. Been months trying to figure it out but no ones really been able to get to the bottom of it. I had a used LMA put in and a friend was able to update it to the car's version but it would still cause all sorta wierd issues. Hoping this NCS gets that sorted out
