Ok. So drove the m50i x5. On wet roads today so I had to be a little more reserved but yea….
It's quite the machine!!!. The motor, instant power, and the exhaust just make you feel like you are driving something different, something more special. The thing freaking moves haha. Beyond the cold start it really isn't that loud either, which is a good thing in my book, just the right amount of tone.
That being said, the x5 didn't feel thatttt much faster than the 540. I guess that is expected given it's size, riding height, and it's about halfway btw the the 540 and 550 in straight line acceleration.
All in all, I think I could live with the 540, it is a great car afterall, but it wouldn't make me happy to drive it every day in the same way. It would be more the feeling of this is a really nice car but there are a lot of nice cars out there. It would not provide that special factor or stand out in the way that the v8 power and sound does.
