If you have to ask then get the 550i.

I am coming off a 11 550x drive m tech pkg car lease just now and it is honestly the worst BMW I have owned out of 6 cars (all have been M so that is likely why). It is the most boring car I have owned and has more body roll than my Mom's Lexus

I didn't wanna comment on this one as TEHO and I left it right there - out of respect but seriously hilarious! ! I always wanted to take those fog lights out and trash them especially being yellowish!! When I had my 550i -

That's why If you're an M driver and a BMW enthusiast it is hard to be satisfied with how a non M (7 series included ) drives period as car wasn't meant for you in the first place!! it's like going to the wrong type of movie and in that case you paid for a romantic movie ticket when you're into action and horror movies LOL

I had the same debate in December then test drove both back to back. Huge difference in acceleration, comfort, and handling. M5 felt more like home coming from an E92 M3.

As I sat in the dealership and saw them side by side from the rear, it was done...M5 won. I also considered the out of pocket costs for grill, wheels/tires and exhaust to make the 550 look more 'beefy' and couldn't justify it....M5 all the way!
