No. V8 reliability is up, but the design is the same and some think it's a flawed engine with a lot of band aids.
I've had both a 540 & 550. I prefer the greater comfort and reliability of the 540. I do not care for any of the options except hud. Adaptive cruise, especially on older cars, sucks.
Ventilated seats are a gimmick that don't perform well.
Those are my opinions, worth about twice what you paid for them.
