You can always do what I did and go with a stage 3 Dinan tune, which brings the 550 up to 511hp and 580lb/ft. That is 97hp and 285lb/ft MORE than your e92 M3...

Yes I just went to Stage 3 and added the Shockware software too and the car is amazing. Fast as hell to 60mph...I'd dare say faster than my old e92 M3 as well! Just as quick but different driving experience. Of course the e92 M3 will behave a little better and be more nimble on the track and tight corners but so far I do not regret the 550i. I came from an e92 M3 to an '12 Audi A7 and now to my 550i BTW.
