My Ride: 2009 DINAN 135 convertible
I drove the sedan MBE550 w/all the electronic toys (distronic cruise, night vision, lane departure warning, blind spot recognition, internal hard drive, active side bolsters, etc.).
In my view (short opinion here): very solid on the road, felt bigger than my 545, didn't feel that much faster, steering feedback not that great, electronic toys cool but not worth the money, the active side bolsters were really cool (they grab you and sqeeze as you go through turns), the steering wheel itself felt cheap.
Nice car, but I'd pass.

Interesting point on the car feeling bigger than the five. My understanding is the 2010 five should have a larger interior as well...

I came up on an E550 sedan yesterday and at first I really did think it was a Hyundai with some body kit, cause of the taillights. The LEDs were bright and distinctive but it seemed awkward that close to the ground. The Audi LEDs at headlight level looks better to me.
