My Ride: 2012 535i M-Sport
The 550I MSport is amazing for the money, that's for sure. I only would request one addition: that the car had a quad exhaust system rather than dual tips. It would have really made the rear look very aggressive like the front.
On a side note, just wondering if it's me or not --the 08+ models have 367HP, even though that is a moderately high amount of horsepower, does anyone else feel that if the car had about 40HP more (around the 410-420HP level), the amount of power would be perfect for this car considering it's size and weight? What do you guys think?

100% agreed - 400hp seems like the minimum this car should have.

I LOVE my 550i, and thoroughly enjoy giving all those guys who think "WTF? who gives a woman a car like this?" an ass-spanking!!
My husband can't believe how many times guys try to get me to race them off the line. It never happens to him!!! It seems around here the young guys are jealous jerks, who don't expect a women to know how to drive. Last night it was a guy in a Suburban.... really?!?! You think you can beat me in a Suburban?!?! bye-bye............. ROFLMAO!
We have both, and in my opinion the 550i is much more fun to drive, that's because I really do not like the SMG and feel the the SAT in the 550i allow for a quicker and smoother change.

No she was not fat nor did i out drive him especially when all that happened is that we went for it in a straight line at the light . It could of been an 08' and that had 5hp more than a 545. But the 545 had more torque 330 vs 270. Go figure !
