With the 540i in the sub $60k range with an already excellent engine, I'm hoping the M550i experience will warrant the $12k premium on a non "pure" M5. I'm also hoping the "M Sports Exhaust" gives the same aggressive exhaust note upgrade the the M Perf Exhaust does for the F8X series. I'm excited for more details!

figured the M550i would be priced around that number. Audi S6 is $70,900 but I think the 550i has a few standard features the Audi doesn't.
would love to see a real world M550i vs S6 test |

Based on this I estimate the M5 to have a $98,995 starting price and toping out at $140k-$150k.

What else does the AMG have going for it? It's pretty low on power/performance compared to the M550 xdrive no?

It's really nothing different from the successful F10 recipe. This m performance model is nothing more than making the 550i more appealing to those on the edge between the 540i and 550i.

Im big fan of BMW, but have to admit the brand new E Series is beautiful for its price, at least E300 is, E43 might little overpriced for its little V6 BiTurbo engine. I mean those people who buy E43 can say "I'm driving AMG now", but do you count M550i is M series or 5 series with M Sport pkg?

That's a very good point, and I hope that the M550i is actually more than just a 550i M Sport. Badging and trims are nice, but what BMW hasn't made clear is what the M in M550i, M240i, really means. I think it needs to be clear and concise what the philosophy is behind this other than marketing and badges.

The M550i base price is a huge increase over the 2016 550i base price. By about $6,000 bucks. I hope the M550i will be worth that dough.

Audi is actually doing really good job for badges, they separate A, S and RS series. Make people more clear, unlike BMW and MB, they have too many "half M and half AMG" models now.

Cannot agree more. Either is an M or it's not. I think it's confusing and watering down the marquee but that's just me... |
