When I test drove a new 550i recently. I came away thinking the same thing. It felt more like a 7 series then a 5 series. Which in my opinion is not good thing in my opinion. I like the extra room and all in 5 series but the overall driving dynamics are not as pure.
Because as a owner of both E39 & E60 5 series and E65 7 series. I could easily tell the difference in overall driving dynamics when I jumped out of 7 series and got in a 5 series.

2011 5 ain't like no 5. Maybe when I can do something about the body roll by lowering it. However no springs available yet for 550ix. Steering feel will still be crap. Just came from a 1 hour freeway drive, through a number of high speed curves, and this car just doesn't have it.
