First excited....wow, bigger V8
Then confused....wow, I have the smaller V8
Then nervous....what does this mean for my net worth?
Then angry.......my net worth just went down even FASTER
Then concialatory......I still have a great car
Then excited.......another excuse to go back to Munich...... for the 550!

So, overall....excited.

You should also make another poll asking the 525/530 owners how they feel after hearing 525/530i is getting a new engine too..

It won't disappear for ever. The model numbers will always re-appear again in the future 523 is appearing again after a few years away.

So long as BMW make good cars - I don't care how their model identification evolves.
The 4.4l is an award winning engine.

I don't know about 525 but as salesman told me .. 530 name will remain as it is ..
un like 545 which will be replace to 550 .. I hope BMW make 550 as option at least for another 2 years .. so I can enjoy having top 5 series model " 545 "...

BMW is offering such great lease deals on the 545i right now, that the 550i doesn't bother me much.... ~60% residual and .001 money factor makes out for a really good deal which I'm sure won't be available for a while on the 550i....
