Thanks for posting ... great info. 
The Carbon Black 550i Sport shown in some of those pics looks stunning! I'm anxious to see how different the sport suspension feels and what the exhaust sounds like (more like a 650i, I hope). Also anxious to find out more about the new sports tranny.

My Ride: 06 530XI Sapphire Black, Black Int. 6sp, Cold, Prem
What I find interesting is that the 530i with a 6 banger is only a tenth of a second slower than a 550i from 0-60

Me too. The most meaningful difference (read performance) between the 535i and 550i sport package cars with automatic transmissions is the 19" wheels/tires and the M-Sport suspension. The cars are pretty close in 0-60 performance (.2 seconds difference per BMW), so the big difference is how they feel and handle.
