The 3.38 gear ratio is standard in the steptronic.Tires are 225/50 17" Goodyear RSA.These are also standard with the 550 without the sport package.
I'll be damned.
What would the time be with, say 285's
The 0 - 100 km/h (0 - 62,14 mph) is according to bmw.de 5.2 seconds for a stock 550i.
By straight calculation this would mean 5.0 seconds for 0 - 96,56 km/h (60 mph),
but so easy is it not.

I see about .3 secs diff from 0-100km to 0-60 mph.Also I don't think BMW uses a rollout which is used by almost all US magazines.I use 9" rollout,most magazines use a 12" rollout.
