suspension
3. Gear box: must slower in shifting, 550i is like sleeping dog, which you need to kick and it takes like half second to come alive. M5C can pull in any gear at any time ( this is the deal breaker for me, I need a car that can pull on the press.
4. Burble's are still there, it sound better then M5C, how ever the sound is very muted so it is of no use.


Video is very good, well done !!
Thank you very much! Glad that you enjoyed it.

Otherwise, yup, would agree on all points. The M550 feels slower to react and a little muted with the throttle response. But at the same time its feels much better suited for a daily/cruiser, with the softer suspension and lighter steering. Also, there's definitely less ''kicking'' from the car and much smoother drive.
