I came out of a 2012 Shelby GT500 with performance package…black with red racing stripes. Owned it since 2011 and really struggled for 6 months to either keep or sell. Don’t get wrong, it was a great car to drive (manual tranny, 760hp). Decided to trade for the M550i and never looked back. Seeing other Shelbyson the road still gets my attention!
That Shelby was a big attention grabber wherever I drove it. Brute force, in your face power. Always worrisome when parked elsewhere than my garage because people gauking at it…..wanting to race….car show and tracking…..fun at first and for awhile.
Fast forward to the 2023 M550i….icognito power, sleeper. Such a pleasure to drive an automatic with power, luxury, technology and great looks. Feels like a big monkey lifted of my back. It really satisfies my need for speed with luxury…..and my wife can now drive it
