I just typed a long response on the merits of an M5 vs 550 stage 4 (or stage whatever) and to be honest I just deleted it because I realised I don't give a rat's ass as I am happy with my car

One quality I have noticed of M5 owners is that they generally are smart, well balanced, accomplished and self confident.

I don't see any M5 owners posting threads about why their car is better than say an Aston Martin Rapide S. Because we are confident enough in our selves and our accomplishments that arguing the superiority of our car over another does not validate us.

When I had my 550i and was in the F10 forum, I did not get the same sense of my fellow members. I suspect this is a characteristic of those mired in middle management that they need validation through threads like Dinan 550i Stage 4 vs <<insert something more expensive>>.

You're not driving enough my good man.

I am only at home 3 days a week, 3 weekends a month, and since September have managed to rack up 7000 miles so far! Love driving this car!

Actually stage 6 is out for the 550 . I had a 2012 550xi stage 4 and it was a fun car for what it was...especially all the torque you can just lay down. Now I have a F13 M6 and I can tell you that a 550 stage 4 does not compare to the motor, tuning and overall feel of the M5/M6. It was fun building the car and I had a lot of fun with it but by no means does it compare.

I love the M5's, I don't have one, but have driven one. I have a 535 and that's what I wanted for now, it's my first sedan, I have always had SUV's. Now all this 550 stage 200 vs m5 is stupid to me. Why the hell are you spending so much money to try to get your car to be something it is not? But then again who am I to tell people what to do with their money? The only thing that pisses me off is the air of superiority that some members with M5's have. We are all enthusiasts and here to talk about cars and learn cool stuff. You need to remember you are driving a 100k car not a lambo, so relax with the baller status.
In the grand scheme of things the M5 is not that special, but it is special to us (yes, even if I don't have one...yet), and that's what makes ur car so awesome. No reason to classify or degrade people because they can't or choose not to have ur same car.

Interesting point, I have not seen s post of any of the M5 owners degrade another owner. There are trolls saying my souped car is faster than your which is pretty childish. Many of us on this board did ED last fall, and I hate to say many of us can buy a lambo if we choose too. However, that's not the point so I feel you're making assumptions to the wrong group. I don't go to the Porsche board saying my M5 is faster than you're car why did you spend 130k?? I hope you see the correlation to your post as your assumption are pointless. Enjoy the board, and bottom line we enjoy the M5's we choose to purchase, and not wanted to here my stage 6 rocket is faster.

Enjoy your car as we do, but don't

550 stage (2+) is like putting huge fake tits on what would otherwise be an average woman.
Sure it will get more attention, but the whole package was not meant to work together.

I was at a red light just now with my son, and right there in front of us was a 550i stage 17 and an F10 M5 supercharged. They were both revving there engines waiting for that light to turn green. I told my son to get his cowboy hat on and take out his rope. He proceeded to do just that, and when that light turned green he was able to whip that rope around the F10 m5 and hold it there while the 550i sped away. Winner goes to the 550i.

Dang! Stage 17 is no joke!

If only the M5 had NOS, may it have stood a chance.

Yeah but the 550i Stage 21 can blow the panties off the ZL1 for $1 dollar less than the cost of the ZL1. Badge included.

Dude what's your deal?? Why do you care soo much that someone bought an M5 and spent what ever they spent on it? The M5 is the ultimate 5 series period. Your 550 is also cool, so enjoy it and shut up, no need to be such a douche. You just come off as jealous.

I might have missed something but wasn't the original thread just someone asking a honest question if the difference was worth it going from a modified 550 to a M5? I don't recall ever seeing a Non M F10 owner claim to have a better car on the forum. We all know what the M5 represents and its the cream of the crop F10.

What i see here is a bunch of guys here all standing around in a circle admiring how big their cocks are and how much money they have. I am very surprised to see this here...
