I think you need that extra pedal on the left... clutch delay valve delete and yea... hit up a track. You'll be surprised what these machines can do!

HA! There's some truth here. I had a Prius. Traded it for the 550. Haven't missed it. Not even the excellent mileage.

I am blown away this OP gets almost 450 views in 24hrs and for nothing - he is MIA and laughing his troll a@$ off!!!!

troll bait? you came up with that? thats the stupidest S#it i ever heard, please dont repeat and let anyone hear you use that. its a forum and im sure theres nothing wrong with expressing my view about the car. I have an evo 9 and i find it to be a much more sharper vehicle than the 550. The e60s are shabby and to me there is nothing about them i find to consider it a performance car... HOWEVER, I cant blame anyone but myself because i should have known this was straight luxury. Was expecting a bit more cuz i saw V8, sport suspension,6 speed gearbox,etc etc

Like comparing a suzuki hyabusa to a BMW 1000rr, they are 2 completly different animals, 1 is a sports tourer and the other is total sports. I don't get what you were expecting out of the bmw? Of course the Evo is gonna be sharper, it's a EVO lol

Really get what you are saying...BUT the 550i was given a performance image and i was expecting a bit more. Maybe i overlooked but i saw it as a 'baby m5'. Dont get me wrong, The car is loaded with stuff like Comfort Access, Seats, All kinda electronic stuff to get your attention and i give bmw their ratings for those stuff. I just thought it would have been more aggressive. Im not hitting out against the E60s cuz i think the 530s,52xs are good luxury vehicles...Im strictly talking about the 550i

Turn off DSC, DTC, A/C and switch to D/S Mode, and its a completely different animal.

It's a heavy vehicle focused on luxury, i love mine for all that; It's pretty slow though lol.

The e39 m5: now that is an all out fun car. buddy just got one with headers, exhaust, intake, clutch-up for a total of $11k (120k miles on motor)... love the two tone leather interior (blue and black). Still would rather a c5 z06 tuned for my "fun" car.

I think it's pretty good for car weights almost 5,000 lbs. I was trading my M3 for this car, so during test drive I knew already it's not M-series cars, I drove my friend E60 M5, it's not very impressive either compare to E46 M3 and 550,until M button pushed.
I had for almost a week 535, so it feels lighter from the dead stop but then it loses power a lot compare to 550, the 535 has a peak performance because of turbo and no delay (twin turbo) but 550 has a longer torque, thanks for good V8.
