My Ride: 07' 550i sport; Sapphire Black/Auburn; sport package; steptronic; navigation with R.T.T.I.; heads up; cold weather package; Logic-7; BMW MOST ipod kit; Motorola V3 snap-in adapter; rear heated seats and rear shades; anthracite headliner; sirrius sat. radio; M-aero kit; OEM style 166 Wheels with 245/35-19 front and 285/30-19 rear Michelin PS2s.

I have found only one post in which a handling comparison was made between the new LCI 550 sport and a non LCI E60 sport, and I believe that comparison was with a 545. Has anyone with/with experinece in a non LCI 550 sport driven an LCI 550 sport enough to make a comparison? I am itching to retrofit the LCI suspension components, but I won't order them until I am convinced that the LCI suspension is significantly stiffer (particularly the springs, which compress a little to easily on my car - especially at highway speeds with rear passengers and/or luggage). My dealer has had only one LCI 550 sport and it was delivered immediately.

Thanks.
