I don't think people buy the 550 for the M badging....they bought it because even if it was badged a Pokemon 550i, it still is the fastest BMW to date and will only be surpassed by another model $30k more. ...
Exactly, I could care less about the M designation and acknowledge that it isn't a "pure" M car. The M550i is quick enough that I'm not going backwards in performance from my current ride and it is one heck of a lot more luxurious and an every day driver at a price I can afford and am not offended by.
