Hello E60 Brethren and "Sista's,
Had an opportunity to drive a 550 the other day,
and couldn't then... and still can't believe how smooth the power is in this car. As you guys already know, I have the RUTHLESS530 
in which I have had nothing but pure joy driving. Can't afford the M5... too rich for my blood, but the 550 is well within reach. Can I get a little input as to how some of you who've switched feel about your decision and or if you are a 550 owner... is it worth it. I would appreciate much!!!!!

Thanx

to be honest id recommend you sell the 530i... keep
your budget tight for another year, and go for a base model m5

Not a bad thought--if one can stand the gas mileage.

hmmm ... isnt a litre of petrol in the USA cheaper than a bottle of evian ?
What's a litre? Petrol got to about $3.60 a gallon in Phoenix as I recall a while back. It's more like $2.50 now. What are you paying not for a liter? How many litres in a gallon?

Also, keep in mind that Texas alone is almost the size of Europe, so we drive a lot!

Well, true, but how often (and how much) Evian do you drink?
