Had a fantastic run this morning with some friends. Everyone behaved, the weather was excellent and the roads were clear for the most part. I really felt the difference in power between the 540i and 550i. Although I had no chance of matching the big boys but I think I held my own for much of the cruise

We had a Gallardo SE, F430, M3 and 550i.

Hard to beleive 550 cannot take on 430 !!

Although it could out accelerate me, I wouldn't say it 'destroyed' me. It was a slow-med pull away. Mind you, this observation was from a start of around 100kmh.
