Ain't it always about finances? Gas was $4.39 last July & the mortgage-sized payment was getting old. I needed a daily driver, and the M was just not practical at 13mpg. It was a shitload of fun, though. 
What kind of gas mileage are you getting in the 550?

Insurance on the M5 wasn't much more than my 550i....was around $90/month with State Farm. I get 20.8 mpg now with 70% highway driving.
Haha nice. People always assume M5 insurance must be thousands more than the regular cars and the V8s must suck gas A LOT more than the I6s but thats not true either...
$90 more a month? mines even less... maybe like $200 more than the 545 annually but I'm with a cheap insurance company...

It also depends on what age group and location you are. If you're 20 something and living in NYC, you are paying thru your nose.
