My Ride: 04 545i - Titanium Silver/Black, Sport pkg, Comfort Seats w/ Lumbar, Premium Sound, power rear sunshade, Adaptive Xenon Headlights, Steptronic, Park Distance Control, Fold down rear seats w/ski bag, Aux jack, 6-disk changer, puddle lamps...
Engine: Custom Remus cat-back exhaust w/chrome square tips, K&N Air Filter, Charcoal Filter Removed, Sprint Booster :-), 50/50 mix of 91+100 Octane, EuroRev ECU Remap (coming soon lol), Dinan High-Flow Throttle Body (coming soon...maybe lol)
Interior: Portable Sirius Stilletto 100 w/car kit, Garmin Nuvi 680 mounted below rear-view mirror, LCI-style I-drive knob, Dark Poplar Center Dashboard Trim.
Exterior: E60 forum clings, 5% rear tint, ACS roof spoiler (painted black for distinct look against limo tint), ACS trunk spoiler, ACS add-on front spoiler and rear apron (awaiting installation), "18 Black Staggered BeBeS Style OER (emergency replacement for cracked sport 124 rims), black kidney grill, white accessory lighting (including license and trunk lamps), Angel-eye upgrade, AIB xenon-matched fog lamps, AIB V3's on order, red rear reflectors
The better driver? I mean, if this were Top Gear and The Stig gained a clone, probably the 535 due to weight reduction...but you'd probably need a photo finish camera to tell. Jo Blow on the street? Still the 535, unless the 550 driver is xint and flawless on the stick (lets face it. Most drivers arent, especially vs modern sport auto microprocessor-controlled shift times).

It would be a close race if the 535i was running Map1. However if it was on map 5 with a E30/40 fuel mix it would have no problems with a 550i. Unless you have a new 550i with the twin turbo V8 putting out 445hp, then you would need FBO's.
