i don't even know why i am typing...you clearly don't read.

1. .4 seconds slower than the 535i. i said this many times, specifically in the discussion about why torque and horsepower were related (which you ignored because it made you look like an idiot).

2. prove me wrong.

3. drop it please. i said allowing the front seat's airbag to be turned off would be a good thing, not that bmw is responsible if someone leaves their child in the car and it dies.

1. so you're racing cars on paper with a calculator?? lol
torque and horsepower are not linear, particularly with turbo cars which have a lot more torque.

2. your train of thought is like saying all 4 door cars are alike.

3. bmw already turns off the front pass airbag automatically, yet you continue.

dude. start reading. just like turboawd, you guys don't read!

1. i never said the sport suspension was worse, just that it is overrated.
2. i had a budget, or no bmw. i got a bmw i like. in my experience, i did not find a huge difference between sport and non-sport. 550 is better, 535 is marginally better...factor in the HPFP issues. i'll take mine over the 535i any day. deal with it please?

you're accusing me of justifying my purchase? you're the one (plus a few others) upset about their purchase being not-as-good-as-they-thought.

Huh? Is that all you got out of that whole post I wrote? Your opinion is just that, an opinion with hardly any basis for fact other than your so called short "cough" testdrives with these cars, your current obsession of 90 degree turns at 3 digit speeds, and your unparalleled googling skills.

Move on troll you bore me

uh oh, accused of not reading again!!

HP = (torque * rpm) / 5250

torque = (HP * 5250) / rpm

and exactly how are the two not related?

c'mon man, you're really wasting valuable time!! start reading!!

like your opinion is more golden? LOL, don't humor yourself.

go out and test them both in various conditions. report back.

in the meantime please call me a troll because you lack the ability to understand that your opinion is not God.
