M550 is the right next level 550 drivers

I have owned and been driving 5-Series V8's since 2006 (545i, 550i and now M550). Somewhere in between I had an E60 V10 for about 6 months, but it wasn't what I needed/wanted. I know people like to compare the M550 to the M5 and critize the heck out of it and its shortcomings. I like to push these cars hard, but honestly I like balance in my every day driver. I drove my 550i for 10 years and loved every moment with that car, just as I did with the four years with my 545. This M550 is a force multiplier and not to be doubted. I think it was a smart next step for 550 drivers who relish in comfort and next level performance. The M5 is right for some, but not others. We should stop comparing the two or wondering about how the M550 fits or does not fit in the line-up. Drive it for what it is for a few weeks and push it hard, but dont compare it to the M5. Thats an amazing vehicle in a different class and price point. I have driven the latest M5 and its incredible, just not a fit for what I need and want. The performance of the M550 is truly incredible on its own merits and a standout hands down in its class. Again just IMO.

M550i What a pleasant compromise of luxury & power

The best of both worlds, luxury and power. The M550i is much quicker than if feels. I personally did 0-60 in 3.5s 1ft rollout 3.3s, 1/4 mile 11.5s. It's just what the Doctor ordered. No drama. Gets great gas mileage for the power it makes.

Nice car but with a "gremlin"

Bought my 2022 530i a few months ago. Overall a nice car but for one issue. The back panel of the front passenger seat rattles against the metal seat frame . There is a service bulletin out and the dealership states they have done all they can but the rattle remains when the seat is empty. Very irritating. So if quality build in your "luxury" sedan is important, keep this potential flaw in mind.

The car is awesome. Very stylish interior and design. The features are awesome. The ride is very nice. I highly recommend this vehicle if you are used to other vehicles in this same class.

Great car!!!! Coming out of a 2012 5 into a 2020 5 is like upgrading from an IPhone 6 to an IPhone 14. Love all of the new technology absolutely no regrets with my new purchase.
