The only thing my M4 had that is better was the air conditioner. I loved the M4, and it is an awesome track car, but I do not miss it at all. The M550iX is awesome. I would love to get my hands on a 2020, with all that extra HP! But, seriously, absolutely no regrets.

We picked up a Mediterranean Blue M550 last night and it is an awesome car. I agree with everything you say here for the most part. I just think it is way more fun to do the backroad runs in a more dynamic/lighter RWD MT car like my M3. I by know means hit the backroads that hard, I save that for the track. The M550 is just to cush/heavy (especially the front end feel) to enjoy it like that IMO for my taste. I do enjoy it as an extremely capable luxury mile eater/cruiser though. It is really a beautiful car. |
Nice! Is this the wife's ride? We are considering a 5 series for my wife's next car instead of an SUV. I HATE them
We need a baby, Ski, AWD car. This checks all those boxes and will be fun to drive.
Please post your impressions as I am interested in your take on the 5er
