Ok, so I just hit 55000 miles on my 2008 550i and thought I should consider another car or change.
So I drove an Acura TL AWD SH 6 speed, very disappointing. Nice car but thought it to be very numb and the clutch/transmission were very unconnected. Then I drove the C350 and what a cheap looking car on the inside not to mention the ride quality. I then drove the E350, nice car and really like the lines but the drive was simply boring, I still need to test drive the e550 but not expecting much.
I guess I'll have to suffer with my 550i for another year or two till the new e60 comes out.

Whoa!!! 55K on a 2008?!?!?! I have 49K on my 2005, I need to drive more.
BTW, hang onto the 550 and get the new F10 550 when it comes out
