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.
that jag is so ugly. when that thing was on the skid pad test and the slalom test i thought it was going to roll. 550 is better in every aspect.

There really is no comparison. The Jag looked like a 12 foot sailboat on the Bering Sea in January. 550 looked like it was on rails.

G0d only knows!
I bought it on a whim really..saw it advertised (main dealer) wandered in said to the salesman 'That'll do!' and then haggled over price. I never even went for a test drive.
