I figure the difference in trade would only be like 15 grand, but really not sure about if I'll love it as much as my 550i. Any opinions on which is nicer, sportier, or just a better car? I'll post pics below.
$15 grand? mmm... a 2011 550i may get you at the most $42k in trade in, never $57k. the 650i you mention is $72k, that is a $27K delta. How do you figure $15k? either you get more than market value for your 550i or you get the 650i for $60k. If you can get a 2012 650i with 4k miles for only $15k more than your 2011 550i with , say 15k miles, go for it.

Once you look at the real numbers you will see that keeping the 550i makes sense.
