Guess I'm picking up an LCI F10 M5 before they kill off the 6-speed in that car also.

Thats if you can afford 105,000 with the bells and whistles. Not that the 70,000 550i is inexpensive... But man, you are so right, it just had power in all areas of the band... It would have been the car to have with the new steering and other refinements.
RIP 6 speed manual 550i. I hope people miss it so BMW takes notice.
