See, that is exactly what I was describing. Like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, except the M5 can do both, whereas the 550 does not really get into Hyde territory. Not knocking it, just was considering getting one until I drove the M5.

The straight line performance of a tuned 550 is not shabby but the driving experience does not come close at all compared to the M5. I'd get something else before going back to a 550. Spoiled now I guess, lol.
