[QUOTE=SleepingBMW;24631250]Op, I feel I should mention the new M340i is being built by brand new workers in a brand new factory in Mexico, thousand miles from Germany.

First. The Mexico



M340 is build in Germany. Xi are going to continue to be build in Germany. Rwd will switch to mexico in the next couple of years but you can guarantee German car by ordering euro delivery. So there is nothing to worry about there.

340 has many advantages
- limited slip
-available RWD
- cooling pack with oil,radiator
- bigger brakes
- new tech
- remote start

It is more nimble and toss-able and can be driven on the track where heavier 550 will suffer

But. New 2020 m550 will have 523hp v8 from the m850. 850 was measured to hit 60 in 3.3. That is enough argument for me
2020 M550 will smoke anything in site short of m5
