Congrats on car.
Why not M5 or M5 Competition?

Excellent choice, hlothery! I consider the G30 M550i as a major upgrade over your F83.
While the 2017+ M550i isn't categorized as an M car on BMW's website, the ones who are saying this is not an M car clearly have not driven one hard on the track, yet alone drive it on the streets. The G30 M550i is far from being a slouch on either track or streets. All it takes is one hot session to realize that the M550i has M Performance capabilities written all over it... Clearly it's no F10 or F90 M5, but the M5 is also a step and a half above in $$$ compared to the F80/F82/F83 sans CS/GTS models. |

You know, I really thought about that. It came down to price. They were over 30K more than the price I paid. Just couldn't see going that route. Loved the M4, it was just a little too raw and too small. The M550i was close in street performance (I don't track my cars), actually better off the line, with the luxury and room I needed, for a lot less. This "real M car" business does not matter to me at all. I either love the way a car drives, or not. And I loved it when I drove it.
