.............................................................
BMW’s finally brought the M550i to the UK, so of course, we had to get it in for a review!
We're sure it'll come as no surprise to any of you that the M550i doesn't come cheap though (at least, compared to the regular 5 Series), with the price kicking off from around £70,000! That's over £30,000 more than the starting price for an entry-level 5 Series.
So is it worth it? Well, if you choose to pay the larger price tag, you’ll be graced with a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet, which will put down an impressive 530hp and 750Nm of torque! Not only that, but it’ll shoot you to 60mph in just 3.8 seconds.
So, it sounds mighty impressive, right? Which leaves us with just one question - with such strong performance stats, should you bother spending the extra £30,000 and go for the BMW M5? There’s only one way to find out… Keep watching to see what Mat thinks!

Hi Mat here: do you think there is no need to buy an M5 as this M550i gets so close yet is much less expensive? Or would you always rather just pay the extra for the proper M car?

The M550i exists in a vacuum where the competing brands don't have a comparable model. Its far quicker than an S6/7 and E53 and awfully damn close in performance to the RS6/7, E63, and M5 for quite a bit less money. BMW should really call it the M5 GT since it is just a soft M5 at heart.

I'm a current 2021 G30 M550i owner - have to agree with Mat's review, and I'd like to add a couple of comments. My car is approaching 8K miles on the clock. I love the car! It handles beautifully, and the power under the hood (bonnet if you prefer) is impressive. I've turned off the gesture control - it's just too annoying for anyone who talks with their hands. The integration of iDrive with Apple devices could be tighter - e.g. you can't select a music playlist from your iPhone. Lane assist needs to be less sensitive to get close enough to the lane boundaries when another lane is not available to give room to law enforcement, construction, broken down vehicles, etc. - otherwise, the lane keeping tries to drag you back to center when you don’t want to be there. It doesn't matter how much you dial back the sensitivity, and you basically have to turn it off to avoid having the car try to drag you back toward the peace officer, parked car, etc. Last, in the last winter storm, the heavy wet snow accumulated on the LED headlights, likely because LED lights are cooler than other types, and the car doesn't come with a lens heating system or headlight washer to clear them. On the positive side, the car handled very well in the snow and slush (put it in traction mode) and the recent update to the car's iDrive operating system installed without a hitch (be careful and follow the update instructions) as did the most recent quarterly map update for the navigation system. On the whole, if I'm heading into the dealer to buy a new car, I'd buy an M550i again, loaded with the packages on mine now - Driving Assistance Plus, Dynamic Handling, Parking Assistant, Executive, 20-inch wheels, heated front and rear seats, and front massaging seats. As for considering an M5, the extra ~75hp (in a base M5) isn't worth the extra $25,000, and even a limited top end speed of nearly 160mph in the M550i will get you where you want to go on most days.

I love how reminiscent it is of the E39 m5. They really went back a few decades in its design and I think it looks great.... Engine was bulletproof... I Put almost 300,000 MI in about 10 years, and other than maintenance and little odds and ends here and there, it gave me no trouble. And that m sport button was always depressed... Sorry I know we're talking about the new m550i but it just reminds me so much of the E39 M5 so I got a little off subject and nostalgic.

I've (almost) always bought the top engine without going into the M/AMG range - you get all the power you need without the harsh drive of the M/AMG. This has included an S500 (instead of S63), two E500's (instead of E63), a BMW 545i (instead of M5, although I did get an M5 too but learned from it). They've always been a much better choice from a comfortable drive point of view and I never felt they were lacking on power.

Does someone remember the old interior of the BMW 5 Gran Tourismo? I love how they placed the sreen. It looked more elegant then in new BMW. Don’t get me wrong I am a huge fan of the new design language of BMW except of the position of the scree.

Used to own a 2009 E60 550i and it was without a doubt the best car I've ever owned. Was 100% completely reliable with only wear & tear parts needing to be changed. Was seriously considering the F10 shape 550i as a replacement but got a 2015 M3 instead. I love my M3 but I know that if I did get the 550i I wouldn't have been disappointed at all. In the real world the M5 won't be much faster than one of these until the speed gets stupidly fast. They seem like a bargain in comparison 👍
@homocidewhore4171 Жыл бұрын
I own a 550i from the same model year. I’m tuned on BM3 and the speed combined with the luxury ride really serves me well as I tend to go on long road trips quite a bit. Considered a ‘15 M4 when I was cross shopping a few years ago when I got the 550i, and the ride was just too harsh for me. They felt about equally as fast stock but that could just be the insane low end V8TT torque talking. I know the S55 is ultimately more capable though and with more aftermarket support, but a BM3 93 octane tune for the N63Tu motor put it in the high 500s for wheel horsepower and that’s more than enough for me
