OP: I was in the same boat, considering a '22 540i vs M550i just 2 months ago. The pricing was a bit strange (to me) because a loaded 540i was actually a bit more expensive than a mid/low-tier M550i...some of that may have been because the incentives were better on the 550. Anyway, I ended up with the M550i and have 2 months of seat time in it now. I had thought I'd be driving this thing like a maniac (like I did the M340i before this), but that monster V8 just exudes so much BDE (especially coupled with a res delete/exhaust and intake) that I've been driving like a decent human being. Walk softly and carry a big stick, I suppose?
