1. Is the chassis different/stiffer than the 550?

2. Are the fenders wider than the normal 5?

3. What type of real world gas mileage are you getting?

Thanks in advance!
1) Yes - structural rigidity is enhanced with braces, etc. suspension and power steering are dramatically Improved. this is hydraulic power steering. Transmission is basically the best in the world right now - much better than Porsche PDK.
2) Yes
3) If you need to ask you probably can't afford this car.
I can easily afford this car but I just want to make sure it's not the same guzzler as the E60 M5. About what gas mileage do you get? Is the 16/20 they state true?
