The best way I can describe it is that the M3 motor felt like a "V-Tec" V8 and the 550i feels more like a big displacement V8 (more low end torque)... like someone is pushing you from behind.

Don't get me wrong... I do miss the runs up to 8200rpm with the M3, but the 550i's power is more "relaxed"
