What the G30 M550i xDrive really looks like.

touringfanatic · 11-08-2016, 03:32 PM

Looks nice, dare I say almost gorgeous but this M-ing of stuff is truly annoying. No sleeper cars these days

This has already been announced, if you read the G30 5 series launch thread/press release the Xdrive and RWD cars will both feature the same lowered sport suspensions when speced for them this goes for the 530, 540, and M550

Yeah yeah yeah, I know what has been announced. I would like for someone other than BMW to verify it

I can confirm XDrive is now available with the same sport suspension options as RWD. It was necessary for the 2 Axle Air Suspension on the G11/12 to be implemented.

Interesting. Maybe we'll have the M Sport Suspension available for xDrive cars!!!

It is. Remember, US cars come standard with Sport Line incl Suspension. The comfort Suspension/Lux Line is a no-cost option. M Sport uses the Sport Line Suspension here.

The current order guides are far from complete, especially the US one which is from July for Dealer Demo, Corporate Fleet, and very early customer Spec. Cars have been in production since August for the initial launch cars. Nov - Dec is demo cars, then updates in Jan, Mar, July, and Nov to follow.

Hood looks too flat, hopefully they will fix it on the M5 then I'm happy. Not interest in any 5 series besides the M5 anyway.

Ugly rims.

My bad. I meant the M Performance.

As an accessory or port installed option I would be confident that will become available at some point if there is a significant difference over the Standard Sport Suspension and the costs are not absurd.

Great looking car...I was hoping for some sexy exhaust pipes, but instead we get vacuum cleaner attachments on the M-sport models

I hope. The current M Performance suspension is not compatible on an xDrive car.

Good point. Perhaps in Europe the diesel 550 will get the M prefix, who knows

Haha thanks I just submitted an old draft response by mistake and I wondered where it went! (the app won't let you view it before you send it)

How appropriate that it was about the 550 haha

Mediterranean Blue is one of the better color BMW has come up with. Kind of reminds me of Le Mans, which I absolutely LOVED. It looked brilliant on the e39 M5, and I'm hoping it is offered on the next generation M5, the F90.

No, it's darker than Le Mans Blue and to me it does compare.

The 550 looks way more appealing to me for some reason. I am currently thinking about not taking my 540 when it arrives for a 550 they have in stock.
Any inputs if it's worth the extra few thousand roughly 7k more then my 540 build with the same options.
