M5 vs 550I with Dinan tune
I traded my 11' 550I with Dinan tune in on my M5. My service Tech told me imagine mine on steroids. I only have 2k miles on the M5 and have just started really getting on it. I don't know if I am remembering it wrong or there just isn't much difference. Anyone else compared the two? I wish I had taken it to the track so I could tell, but did not.

And then stick a remap on the M6 and you will disappear. This is always going to be the problem with stock Vs. mapped.

And I thought it was my old age creeping up on me... lol yes I could tell that the M is much better in the handling dept. Was just looking for the "steroids" he was talking about.
Thanks guys. BB |

But like another poster said straight line would be hard to tell as you had mods. Always believed M/// represented a better handling chassis, suspension, body roll, feel both connection on the road and in the cabin. Ultimate driving pleasure when you take a corner or just mash that accelerator! This is where the m5 should be on the 'juice' your tech referred too, not just straight line speed. Just my two cents Enjoy either way

Right on. The M5 is a FAR more advanced car for all the reasons you just cited. The Dinan 550i remains "soft" like the stock 550i. The cornering and stability is not even close. For $80k it is a heck of a car but I'd just opt for a slightly used M5. You can't "make" an M car no matter what you do to the 550i. There's power sure but the overall car is not of the same genetics.
Yep, this is the reason I traded.... the 550i was not a M... wanted an M when I bought it but the M was not available. So far I love the M. If it is like the 550i it will only get better with some miles on it. Thx BB |

How is this even a logical dilemma? I'm not necessarily aiming at the OP, but I just don't understand why anyone would even mod a 550. The 550 is a nice car if you get the Msport pkg and you are content. If you bought a 550 equipped well, you're only 10-15 grand off. Then you start doing wheels, Dinan garbage, and aero parts...you could have had a M5. Illogical.

I've always viewed getting an ///M car as more of buying a full and balanced package. There are a lot of mods out there that can achieve the same individual components in a 550 but doesn't give you the completed package. The ///M brand is just the culmination of a total package. I don't feel that the m5 is a modded 5 series. It's just a different car all together that happens to share some parts.
