My Ride: '08 530i Luxury LCI
A 550i with all the listed add ons (HUD, better brakes, lesser turbo lag, more power - where the M5's body should be somewhat reinforced to accomodate the extra power... oh and the M's LSD) would cost near a new M5, so M5 is still a better choice over a 550i sport. Just my 0.02...

My Ride: BMW 550i M Sport
I have heard the listed price in the UK is GBP73,000.

I knew I've seen that shitty fender vent somewhere before! What's disturbing is, I loooove the Taurus SHO, and the new M5 just slid down a notch for that crappy side vent. I mean, I'm still in awe and everything, but I can't help, but agree with you John 
good observational skills
good observational skills it looks nothing like a taurus. the side vents are shitty and need to lose the chrome ring. the chrome ring is similar to the shitty chrome ringed vent on the taurus but that, and the crease that comes off the top of the vent, is where any similarity stops.

My RV will need £25K I would think to be added to buy this car, here in the UK I am not getting the use of the power of the 550i as it's so good, so M5 just a badge here IMO.
