Handy! Another benefit of the system is that, in the event of a collision, the 20 seconds before the accident and the 20 seconds following it are automatically recorded and saved, so they can be referred back to in any subsequent reconstruction of the incident.

not surprised, curious to see what magazines hit with the 2020 m550i.
huge variance in trap speed for the m850i, car and driver hit 123 while motor trend hit 116. I wonder if the gearing will be different for the M550i because you definitely can tell the m850i's 1-3 gears are shorter. |

We should enjoy what we have because most people would love to be fortunate enough to own a BMW no matter what year it is.

Also, I’m seeing speculation surrounding the 540i getting the high output B58B30O1 engine at some point. There is absolutely no evidence to support this. The 540i (and 640i GT) will switch from the current B58B30M0 to the B58B30M1 engine for MY2020, a “silent” update that will bring no change in peak power, but will bring it up to spec with the 740i LCI, imminent 840i, X5 40i, imminent X6 40i, and X7 40i. There are no plans for M40i M performance vehicles in the 5/6/7/8 product families, and no plans to use the O1 engine outside of the 3/4 product families. |

Interesting thing is that M550xi is still an niche car. Most dealers will tell you its for a VERY specific audience. My dealer told me that at his dealership here in LA, it's all downtown lawyer types -- guys with the $$ but who want to fly under the radar a bit. BMW knows they've priced it richly, so I don't think this will change the MSRP all that much. Anyone who's played w/ the configurator in the last 18 months has probably seen their configurations come down in price, as BMW has been stealthily changing options packages and moving stuff into standard equipment. Once the sticker starts hitting 85k, per my dealer, most people will put out another 10k for a 7 for the room, or loaded X5 for lateral or less $$.

I am willing to bet that current m550 is almost the same engine output as 2020 model year. See link below for my testing and comparison to my old F10 550. F10 and G30 engine ratings are almost identical but JB+ f10 was slower than stock g30.
