Do any of you guys own a 550i? I would love a clean example; one of the greatest Q cars.
The BMW E60 550i in countries like the United States is just ‘another car’. But in the UK where diesels dominate the mid-range sector, they’re incredibly rare beasts. In fact, there are only 15 550i M-Sports registered on UK roads.
With a 4.8-litre 362bhp V8 mated to a six-speed manual gearbox the 550i reaches 62mph in 5.3 seconds and goes on to a limited top speed of 155mph. I’m tempted to go for a well specced SE model. The M-Sport is arguably better looking than the SE but the 18-inch alloy wheels and body kit are a bit too showy for proper sleeper potential.
What do you think?

The v8 has too many issues the turbo 6 is more reliable and cheaply tunable
I think the sound of a V8 E60 would be glorious 😎 I enjoyed your write up. As long as you dont mind frequent stops for fuel, i say do it 👍
spiders in that colour looks amazing
Maintenance is tough. Over 1200 for ignition coils and spark plugs. They’re kinda common here. One of those with the N55 would be cool
