The horsepower numbers are just getting crazy. I've owned five 5ers. My first V8 was a 1999 540 and at the time, I thought its 280 hp was almost too much power. And now I'm getting ready to order a 560 hp M5 (that's 2x the power since '99!). If you drive the 535 and 550 back to back, you'll want the 550. But $200 per month is a lot of money. I'd drive the 535. If you're satisfied, buy it. You'll never miss what you didn't have.
