You know you can get active seats in a 550.
Really? Didn't see that option when I had the price sheet. I only saw ventilated seats.

and I hate to tell you, while you think the 550 is the all superior car to the 535 (and it may be just don't chip the 535), the fact is the M5 is superior to to the 550.

Which car had more torque for around town driving? I suspect the 550i would be equal to the M5 up to 5000RPM. I haven't had the chance to drive a new M5 myself. I didn't want to be tempted to go with that $800 a month difference.
Was the handling much different?
