amazing car review also can I have the address to scott's house or radio station so that I can mail him letters.

[@frankrosado1916]

Today I picked up a 2020 M550i , Blue metallic, moccha interior. Folks all I could say, "What a nice & beautiful beast!!!"

[@FamilyWheels]

Congratulations!

[@frankrosado1916]

@@FamilyWheels thank you!!!! I love this car.

[@derekochoa8313]

How do you still like it?

[@frankrosado1916]

@@derekochoa8313 i did love the car. This past April for my 61st birthday, I traded it fir a 2021 M5 Competition. Donington gray exterior and tartufo interior. It is a scary monster.

[@motorsport_doc]

Just picked this up last week and god damn this thing is a monster!

[@B2stunt1]

Any problem thinking about grabbing 1

[@motorsport_doc]

@@B2stunt1 I’ve had it for about a year and then I traded it in for a 19’ M5 competition. The m550 was a solid car, engine is way better with many improvements over the years since n63 came out. The only issue I had with the m550 was a leaky thermostat and that’s it.

[@migy5031]

Astonishing bump in power output! Now more than double the original M5. The M550i makes the M5 a difficult choice to rationalize. Personally I still think the M340i strikes a better balance, but I can see how someone would want this for the extra luxury.

[@FamilyWheels]

Yes I was thinking a lot about the M340i while driving this and if made to choose, would probably pick the M340, was just a little bit more tighter and nimble, but hey.. either would do me just fine!

[@bacvain]

You make a great point. Especially after the bump in HP on the M340i but with a family of 4 rear seat space is limited on the 3 series. For me standing at 6”2 and 3 more passengers the 5 series checks every box.

[@rcauthen324]

I have a M550 and when you drive a M5, the choice is not hard at all. My 2021 M5 comp just docked in the US and I should have it in a week. Do not get me wrong, M550 is a GREAT car and enjoyed it for 3 years. For 2021, M550 gets the M5 seats minus the lighted M5 logo in the headrests.

[@s3hooligan]

Excellent review. One of the few that I’ve seen that detail the differences between the various manufacturing years. Well done!

[@bacvain]

This car is stunning. I skipped the 5 series for a Genesis G80 Sport but I’m 90% convinced my next vehicle in this segment is the M550i. It’s been my dream car. Then i will be complete. 😁

[@FamilyWheels]

One hell of a ride :)

[@twfinc6855]

The G80 impressed the heck out of me when I drove on recently (2019 model)... very solid and luxurious. 2021 is going to be faster, better sound system, lighter, and better infotainment etc.. Im going to be checking one out for sure when they arrive.

[@bacvain]

TW F isn’t the G80 perrrtttyyyy 😬 and luxurious and awesome in all aspects. I got scolded by my best friend who’s a mechanic about being stupid if I got rid of my Genesis for a bmw and he literally drives a 440iM tuned to 500hp. 🤣🤣🤣

[@twfinc6855]

@@bacvain I know its a different car but my daughter has a 2017 elantra and its having a lot of problems with the coils... hope its not across the entire hyundai and Genesis lineup because I might get the 2021

[@bacvain]

TW F i gotta say that Hyundai and Genesis are very different at every level including the platform on which they are built. A lot of people say there are some things similar but that’s also about change completely on the 2021 and over.

[@JS-hw8ve]

It could be used as a family sedan, but it's not ideal. I think I've seen Impalas with more backseat room and accessibility for children and car seats. That said, having this would do my little family fine, and that jump in power and refinement would have us cruising in style on holiday, or simply making grocery trips a sheer pleasure. It's a performance luxury car that can be used as a family car, but isn't really meant for that. Still... I'd love one in my driveway.

[@FamilyWheels]

You said it perfectly, it's not totally ideal but..... we'd gladly make allowances for the pleasure of driving it every day

[@boarder247]

I think the reason the rear seat postion in regaurds to the rear wheels is so tight is to keep the handling perfomance of the vehicle at top notch level. If you slide them further back youd lose the fun handling. Ill gladely tske the awesome handling over the extra couple inches.

[@paulp8107]

Do you own a late model BMW? If so, some feedback would be appreciated.

[@mattX5]

rick johnson I own a 2016 X5, so pretty late model. What do you want to know?

[@EchoSigma6]

They’re expensive after the warranty period. Great for the BMW service department. Here in Los Angeles the hourly labor rate exceeds $200 USD plus the cost of the parts. The cost of the electronic parts are unexpectedly high. That’s why most people lease these here. This basically applies to all high end European autos...I’m talking to you Range Rover!

Excellent review - in the market and this was super helpful! Thank you!

[@frankre1422]

Great review!!

[@PLAYDEALS]

I have just jumped from a BMW535d to a fully loaded BMW750 msport V8. The 535D was an incredible car to drive, the kick down was neck snapping, I had owned it for 8 years and was sorry to see it go despite trading it in for the 750. The 7 feels a lot bigger than the 5 despite it only being only a little bit bigger. The MPG on the 5 was between 50 and 60 mpg, thankfully I only drive about 2500 miles a year so the 15mpg round town or 28mpg on longer journeys is mot an issue. This new 5 looks great but who would order it in cow pat brown?

[@bhavyesh1981]

I had this car for one year and trade in with M4 competition. I love M4.

[@smokescreenFromThe6ix]

As much as I love BMW, they really need to step up their game! Especially when these Korean and Japanese manufacturers are including some of these luxury extras as standard as opposed to paying extra. That car is not worth $100k I test drove a Genesis G90 and was pleasantly surprised at the ride experience as well as the interior was almost equal to the German luxury brands. No one is impressed with iDrive in 2020!

[@andrewbailey4818]

Quality is a big difference too. My dad had a g80 and now has this exact car. This is also 80k American because of the engine no Korean brand makes a competitor with 550hp msrp 76k this spec 87k.

[@motorsport_doc]

Did this car have the Dynamic Handling Package? If so, how did it feel in corners? Cross shopping one of these with the M340i which I expect to be better handling, but we've got a 2 year old, so thinking about trunk space and backseat as well.

[@FamilyWheels]

Don’t know, the review was by our previous host. From my experience the 5 Series is just a lot more car, obviously ($), but has very good handling too. And the M550i ups all that-very appealing. If I could swing the capital cost and gas money was no problem then it’d be the M550i. Thanks for watching.

BMW spent money on quality parts than electric sunshades. Visit Genesis forums and you will understand why Genesis is cheaper but more gizmos. Sunroof noises, trim fading, interior plastics falling apart, and list goes on. I was considering a Genesis until I did more research. The car will also feel old after a year or 2 due to cheaper bushings etc. That said BMW V8's engines are not trouble free. Some issues they still haven't figured out even in multiple generations. Their inline six is the best engine in the bunch. Then again we don't buy these due to being a totally trouble free experience due to the nature of BMW pushing the envelope. Still much better reliability than MB or Audi. Had them all.
