My Ride: 2008 550I M Sport, Premium pkg, Logic 7, Sport Automatic Trans, Paddle Shifters, Nav, Comfort Access, Rear Shades, Satellite, PDC
Traded in my 07 525 for a 08 550 sport. The difference is unbelievable and not just in power but in handling as well. All the extras help as well. The 525 only had premium pkg and I added 124's a year ago which helped handling.
The comfort seats are much more comfortable as well as the interior feel. I guess that's from the LCI updates with more leather. The aero package give it a much more aggressive look as well. Only down side is the 19" rims are a pain in the azz to clean.
