Looks amazing all in all except I just miss the analog gauges...

christak · 12-06-2016, 07:17 AM

Superb

Looks decent. However am I the only one that sees the hockey stick design cues everywhere in this car? In the side design aft if the front tire. In the front fascia. In the tail lights. Interior bits. It's a little much.

hpapad01 · 12-06-2016, 07:24 AM

It looks great, I like it a lot!

I only wished they had made it a little more unique like the old 540 M-Sport.

I'm not a big fan of the dual flat exhaust tips as it looks like a Lexus. A single large exhaust pipe would have looked better IMO, unique.

I do not care about the small M badges on the sides. A single M-550 badge would be appropriate enough and distinguish it from the M5, less is more.

I would preferred the crossed drilled brake rotors as well to make it more aggressive.

But overall IMO great execution.

look in the "G30 M550i xDrive - Thread" - I just posted a few hours ago this:
"Even a small update for the M550i.

For the US-Models:
The models that will be produced in the next days are mostly "photo cars". Most of them are going to produced with the option "without additional designation outside" - the small "M"-badge on the fenders is omitted (optioncode 3DZ). This means that it will probably be possible for the US-models to cancel the model lettering on the fender."

A bit too conservative, but it certainly does not look bad. But it doesn't get me excited either.

550Reasons · 12-06-2016, 08:28 AM

I dont know ... When they first released I liked them quite a bit now its fading off pretty quick ... =/

Maybe if I see one in person

DL3 · 12-06-2016, 08:41 AM

No high hood, looks proportionate.

isnt that the point though? its an understated luxury sedan that just happens to be quick. i think you'll see the m5 be more bold. The f10 550 was no different than the msport 528/535s except for the exhaust tips really.

infamousq · 12-06-2016, 08:41 AM

everything looks ok except the rims which they stole from the ///M760IL XDRIVE

vpatel867 · 12-06-2016, 08:54 AM

I want some of that.

These are two different rim designs

M550i: M668
M760Li: M760

ZilberGrau ZHP · 12-06-2016, 09:01 AM

Not terrible but nothing really special for the 90-100k that this will be. The interior is nice also but nowhere near an Audi. Ill take a 2017 LCI S6 and save the 10-15k ANYDAY.
And any car this big will simply not be the "ultimate driving machine".

I think it has a simple and aggressive design.I prefer this to the M5.I love it.

Total madness · 12-06-2016, 10:28 AM

Well done Bmw
