Well, it all depends on your driving style and preferrence. If you like speed, 525 will disappoint you. If style is more important than speed, 525 would do just fine. Just my 2 cents.

My Ride: 2008 550I LOADED, all options except HUD and NV
Even I would take the 550, no offense to the ones that have the 525 but when I was researching my purchase the 525 was too underpowered for the weight of our cars for my taste. I couldn't see going from an SRT Jeep to a car with less than 200HP

Drive both and see 4 urself which one u like better....there is nothing like the power of the V8, but for some the 525 is plenty.
The advantage i see the 525 over the 550 is that you have 90K miles remainder ofr warranty....550 only 50k miles.
