Lot of the posts cite low end torque and effortless acceleration at low speeds and passing as a reason to get the M550i.

1. I see a decent number of people who made this comment are coming from F10, so how many have driven the G30? The reduced weight of the g30 helps performance, so less raw power is needed for these cars to feel quick compared to F10

2. Wouldn't a 540d have very similar feel to the 550 at least around town and in traffic congested areas? Clearly it wont have the same top end, but who's driving triple digits in the US?

Now that they're taking orders for the diesel, I just find that to be the sweet spot.
