I just talked to my go to BMW sales guy (now a BMW Center manager). When I was talking M340i/540i/M550 he said M550 (for what I was going to use the car for). No question.

Sure, it's the most expensive so potentially the most profit but he knows the deals he gives me result in essentially the same profit for him so...

He did tell me to drive all three, which I plan to do soon if I can. He was very confident I'd end up in the M550 after the comparison drive. I'm afraid he's likely right.

Now if he's right I'll need to configure and order so I have one in January 2022 when my lease on the 330i GT ends. Maybe get a December delivery to help him make his year end numbers (and get a better deal?!).
