Not sure if this has been discussed before, but does anyone have some 535 vs 550 times? 0-60mph?

thanks...

If you have to have the 550i's M Sport Package get the 550i. Otherwise the cars are essentially equal in daily driving duties.

BMW puts the 550 2/10th second quicker to 60mph. Haven't seen any direct comparisons beyond that, like same track same day.
