Track test shows 550i to be faster and handle better. But we already knew that.

Watch the video in the link and you can see in the skid pad and slalom tests how little body roll the BMW exhibits. Very cool.

Now that's what real handling is. The 550 rocks.

I've never really been a fan of Jags, especially when comparing them to the 550!!!

You can really see how well the active suspension works in the slalom clip
