There's a 550 parked next to my 6 in the garage. It drives the same, just more room and less appealing than the 6, IMO.. Any cars in mind?

High RPM NA engines usually have higher hp output but lower torque figures.

The 5 and 6 Series cars are not in the same class. If you want room, get the 5. If you are looking for swoopier style and don't need the room, get the 6.

Well yeah, we know the 5 and the 6 aren't in the same class. He wants to know how the drive is and to answer that question, the drive for the 5 and the 6 are similar, smooth. If you're looking for a cruise car, then go for the 550. It's gonna be hard to go from the "swoopier style" 6 that you already have, to the 550 (which is nice btw). An upgrade in HP, but you might as well jump up to the M series!!!!
