My Ride: E60 M5, F85 X5M
I forgot what he said but the general feeling is that he loves it. Hopefully he'll see this thread and chime in. I think C's going to call him today to get hear his opinions.

I think its a great move. Dump the M. This new 550 with a Dinan tune will be just as fast. Maybe not as violent or track ready but definitely just as fast. You'll be primed and ready to go 2 yrs down the road for the new M. The price will have come down by then. Any kinks will have been sorted and you'll know exactly what mods you'll want as enough time will have passed that all the tuners will be in full swing with F10 M5 parts.

I'm going to test drive the car tomorrow and run some numbers with my dealer, so I should know for sure by then. Stay tuned...

Tony - I don't think my RAD's will work on the F10, which kind of stinks. The offsets on the 172's on the 550 E60 are ET18 in the front and ET32 in the rear. The offsets on the 351's on the F10 (Rudy's wheels), are ET33 in the front and ET44 in the rear.
