Fantasm's comment is quite a compliment to the F10 550i considering all the cars he's had.

This is my 5th 5 series and am quite pleased with the plushness and luxury features of the car, not to mention the power, BUT I would be surprised if any Z4 or 3 series owner would warm up to the 5 series much. Not that the 5 is a cold, sterile car (its not if you order the right stuff), but I've never considered my 5s to be very sport or high spirited. But I chose the 5 specifically to be a nice touring sedan for long commutes with a just a tad of sport and (with the 550i) a lot of punch.

You might be more impressed with a 335i (with M Sport package) or if you can wait about a year, the M3. Compared to a 5 series, those cars are "hot" like a late night club bar compared to a 5 series being more like a 5-star hotel bar. It all depends on how you live and what you like.
