I know not very much about car, But I had turbo car before and also normal car, turbo car always problem, no power when slow speed, too many service, V8 car bulletproof engine, very good , you buy V8 4800 BMW no 3000 Turbo

Manny tranny and every option available for that year
2002 Chrysler 300M Special
Brilliant Black/Light Taupe/Dark Slate
Autostick and goo-gobs of neat features that I will sorely miss

That is a good one! Next time I pull up next to a 535i I think I'll run over and pop the idiot in the head.

This is all correct. That?s why I don?t understand why people are claiming that the 535i with SP has the same suspension. Gee, I could?ve had a V-8

Edmunds Test Numbers
535i - Test
Slalom (mph): 65.3
Skid Pad Lateral acceleration (g): 0.89
550i - Test
Slalom (mph): 67.5
Skid Pad Lateral acceleration (g): 0.88
I guess it comes down to feel, because their numbers are very close. 535i has the better skidpad and 550i has the better Slalom.
Its the same story for the 135i, it has the recalibrated M-sport suspension.
