You can't fully use the power of the 550i on public roads in the US because of safety and legal concerns, not the suspension. It's just overkill. Everything that I do with the 550i, I could just as well do with the 535i. I don't drive any faster or accelerate any faster in real-world driving with the 550i than I did with the 535i that I had before. It's just not within the scope of what is remotely legal or safe to push it beyond that level. It will be the same with the M550ix vs 540ix.
