You can never use the power of any 550 because the car's suspension isn't up to the task. Dynamically the chassis of the 5er just doesn't cut it. As for all those M badges on a poser M car..... I just don't get it.
And that's what different from the old 550i to the new M550i, it gets a different suspension than the other g30.
