Reunited and it feels so good...New M550i

I had an e46 M3 about 12 years ago, then went through an Evo X, 2 GS350 F-Sports and a Q50 Red Sport, and am finally back to the BMW family. It was between an M550i or a S5 Sportback, but with the crappy lease rates for the S5 Sportback and not really a straight line performance upgrade over the Q50 Red Sport, the M550i was the winner for me.

Absolutely adore the car - so smooth and silky. Plan on getting the Dinan tune in a few months as well in addition to some light tints. Have not tried the launch control yet but will do it sometime this week.

Congrats on the new ride. Nice color choice too. My 2018 came in last July and I absolutely love it. Haven't missed my 2015 M4 at all. Like you, I am thinking about the Dinan tune in the spring. Not that the car needs any more push, it's just that I want it. Typical guy thing I guess. The launch control is awesome!

thanks everyone - i still have my Q50 RS400 with a few k in miles left, so i'm driving that mostly but I can't wait to start driving the M550i more consistently in about a month or so. The benefit though is each time I drive it it feels just like the first time
