2020 M550 Performance

Has anyone seen reviews or independent performance testing of the 2020 M550i? Can't seem to find anything anywhere.

I’ve been looking as well and have not seen anything. Logic says it should be about the same as a M850 Coupe.

Haven't we heard the gearing is different in 1-2 or 1-3 in the M850? And I'd expect the M550 might be heavier than the M580 coupe. I'd expect the M550 to be a little slower.

The M850 is 22 pounds heavier. It also does have a taller 1st gear. BMW quotes the M850 as a tenth of a second quicker to 60.

There it is. A tenth of a second. Nobody can feel a tenth of a second. And the gearing only really matters in a foot to the floor standing start.
