Come on now...
The M5 is *less* luxurious:

1. Ignoring the fact you could probably special order any BMW leather in any BMW car, the leather differences are really only color differences, not quality differences. You can't get Venetian Beige in the M5. You can't get Sakhir Orange in the 550. But all of the best leathers, the individuals, those colors are exactly the same for both.

2. You can't get ceramic controls in the M5. This is strictly a luxury/quality item, not a color item.

So really, if you configured the very best interior you could for each car, the 550 would be slightly more luxurious because of the ceramic controls.
