Just test drove a 550 last week...(I have a 207 530i)
All I can say is WOW!!!
I never realized how incredible the V8 power is! I know the new 535 has a lot of power but.....the sound and rumble of the V8 is
i-n-c-r-e-d-i-b-l-e! I was going 100 and the engine sounded like it didn't have a chance to open up yet!
I am completely take over by the V8! I have 1 year left on my 530i lease and I'm trying to find a way out as soon as I can to move into a 550!
No real point to my post...Just wanted to share my excitement!
btw...I also test drove the new Audi S5 (V8) pretty cool car! (I'm not jumping ship but thought it was worth mentioning)

as great as it is, appreciate what you got too, the inline 6 is a beautiful engine that is classic in a BMW.

Hehe glad you finally found out what a V8 is all about. 
My first car was an 84 Buick Electra, that had a V8, I wasn't impressed at all.

Hmmm... 550i vs. Buick V8, let me think a minute.
Think I'll stink with the 550i...
