Sport trans adds to this with multiple combinations...full auto, manual auto (shift paddles or shifter), sport auto, sport manual (shift paddles). You get the picture.
Oh yeah, so far about 1.5MPG avg less than the 545i
545i avg city/hwy = 19.2 mpg, 550i (650 miles) avg city/hwy = 17.3 mpg
Waiting for the break in period to complete before I really experiment
Two beautiful rides in one driveway, even if for a short time.
