But G30 M5 has been announced it is gonna have XDrive version, and i believe M550i price is crazy and unacceptable compare to G30 M5.

However MB has done a smart move, they make all 43 models as an AMG officially now.

Honestly, I would take E43 AMG over 540i + M PKG with almost the same price.
Uhhh... what? An M550xi today starts for the same money that a 550xi with M Sport did before. Look it up. Loaded it's more, sure, but you're getting things you couldn't get before. And a loaded M550xi costs less (or worst case the same) as the upcoming M5 with zero options. That's how it is with most models. (330 to 340 to M3, etc.). Not everyone needs the 600hp track version of the car. Also, the M550xi costs the same as that AMG43 Benz, maybe even less with options, despite the ass whupping it would place on the Benz. If anything the M550xi and Audi S6 make the Benz the worst value in the class, as both would curb stomp the E43.
