I've added H&R sport springs to my 550i and a Dinan Stage 1 and its a different car...much tighter.

So far no problems..no regrets especially with the $$ save on the M5! I too was the benefit of one of those late Aug/early Sept BMW deals where I got my 550i for like $8k off MSRP and a great deal from BMWFS. Go drive the car...see how it speaks to you and go from there.
Thank you. You have a good car "resume" and I value your opinion.

My kids are getting bigger and we've outgrown the 3 series. Now I have to decide if I keep the 135 or the M5. I bought the m from some ny giant football player who took a 27k hit on a 7 month old car. It makes for a good story and I'm in love with that car.

OTH, I think they're going to stop making the e82 which makes me think it may have some long term scarcity value. The n54 is one of the coolest engines ever produced by BMW. But, v10's are probably never going to used again by BMW. I'm hoping the f10 helps me make a good decision.

Neway - thanks again :-)
