Did you order DHP (Dynamic Handling Package) ? It's definitely worth the money. Welcome to the club. Some great people here with lots of experience and advice. - Mark

Thanks Mark. I did not opt for the DHP package. I plan on doing some lowering springs and I was told you can’t lower the car with the dynamic handling package.

Was Bowers and Wilkins available ? I really wish I had that audio system. Someone recently ordered a 2023 and said B&W wasnt even available now. That would suck if true. You're real smart getting the 2023, It will be the last ICE run on the M550. Probably a nice Collector model. The 2024 will have that new S68 engine that will be in all M and M light V8 vehicles. But I would never buy a first year engine/car. Wait for the bugs to be worked out. Here is a link to the new motor in case you've not read up on it. https://www.bmwblog.com/2022/04/15/b...vision-engine/

The 2023 build sheet does show the upgraded audio as an option, but I just went with the standard Harmon Kardon sound system…I’m sure it’ll be better than the Bose that was in my S6.

I have a BOSE surround in my SUV. There is no comparison to HK and Bose. The HK in the M550 is MUCH better. You can also bimmercode the B&W sound stages (concert, live, studio, etc) onto your I Drive/HK system. It makes a significant difference.

I've driven behind one of them on the highway. It sounds more like an Airplane or something non-vehicle like than a car. LOL They also are actively tuning the New Supras as well. I see them all the time. As well as weekly Lambo's, Ferrari's, etc.. They recently pulled videos from the Web because (i'm hearing) they're going for the world record Supra 1/4 mlle. If you want to search them, the company is called Go Auto Repairs.....or Go Auto. I forget which one. But the last run they publicly posted on a street legal, parachute driven Supra on the strip was insanely fast.

Here's a quick look at the build, although I believe the Phytonic blue is a little more subdued as to what is shown in this pic. I was going to go with a BMW Individual color, but it would've added upwards of 6-months to a year to the build and I don't have that kind of patience.

I tried to order a M550ix last year but couldn't get an allocation, so I bought the B7 instead. I still think about it though... knowing that the engine is going to change and the interior will likely follow the new "design language" dashboard/instrument panel that the other cars are getting would also make me want to get a 2023 before it's too late. My work firewall blocks whatever image hosting service you use, so please feel free to attach images to your post rather than linking so that I can see them. ![]() I will also be curious to read any thoughts you have comparing the 5 to the S6.

So, I just cancelled my Phytonic Blue 2023 M550i build because the dealer I ordered from was waiting on an allocation. I was able to secure an allocation from another dealership on a 2023 M550i currently in production...An almost identical build except in Alpine White.

This M550i went into production a week or two ago and the dealership is telling me they expect the vehicle to be at their location between late August / early September. I'll be buying this M550i.

Shoot, I don't know how you guys are getting all of these builds. All of the dealers I talk to around here say that they have no allocations, and several said that they don't expect any this year. Bummer.

I can give two dealers that I know have allocations. One is currently being built and it's a 2023 black on black and the other is an open slot, but they're charging $2500 over MSRP.
