Which looks better

     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Just thinking to myself, "Hey I like the look of the M550i better than the new M5"

Anyone agree?

I prefer the M5, the hood lines and front side fenders are standouts compared to the 550



Oh and the roof, love the lines. I do prefer the 550 wheels.

I prefer M550i over M5 too
Side gills on the G30s look better than that of the F91 M5's as well

I like the M5 body better, all around. I suspect the M550 will be better behaved on the road and is much less $$ with equivalent options. For what it is worth, I have a M550 on order.

My thoughts too. I had an F10 M5 for 3 months and sold it for the 550i. The M5 was too cumbersome for my style of daily driving. I must say that the new auto transmission in the M5 might make it more bearable than the dct in the M5.

The F90 M5 looks better than the G30 M550i, and it has some nicer colors, but other than that I prefer the M550i. I think the M550i will cannibalize M5 sales significantly in countries where they are both offered.
