Yeah, the end of the V8 in the 5 series (excluding the m5) makes the M550i a must have if you want the V8 but find the M5's comfort and manners too harsh as a daily driver.
Compared to the M3, I'm sure it's going to lose some of the nimble feel with the added weight... especially that sweet 4.4L V8 up front! Did you get to test drive both with and without the DHP before deciding? I'm just going by what I've read on specs and online opinions. The used one I test drove didn't have it.
