Though, It is hard for me to pick between M550i and M3 and I ended up driving M550 (8/10 times). That being said, M550 wins for everyday use.
Test drive was about 25 min. Totally different vehicles, but I was looking for something different than the M3. The level of luxury is incomparable between the two. Obviously the driving experience is vastly different as well. Both great cars, both very different, and both animals in their own right!
