I have a G82 and an M550.

I am surprised constantly by how good the G82 is (it's just like the G80 but with two fewer doors). The M550 has a fabulous drivetrain, and it is quieter, but I don't find the ride to be much better than the M4 quite honestly. The seats are a bit softer. On some roads in some circumstances, the M4 damping is better and the car rides better. However, the 5 has those stupid runflat tires and I suspect they need balancing.

I am not a fan of the DHP - I had that on my Alpina and it made me sick. The handling was awesome, but that four wheel steering is just not for me.
