Considering 2011 550 xi m sport with dinan mod

I am currentley in the process of trying to decide on a 2011 550 xi m sport black on black with prem 2,conv,heads up display,and varoius other great options. I currentley own 2 BMW'S, a 2009 135 i conv red on black fully loaded with a stage 3 dinan upgrade and a 2008 535 xi space gray on black with a dinan stage 2 upgrade. Love both vehicles. Although the 550 xi in M sport really catches my attention. I am considering trading both vehicles in for the 550 xi with dinan mod. The BMW dealer has qouted me $ 5500.00 dollars for a difference in trade( msrp on the 550 xi is $ 77,500.00). I did not think that was a bad price at all for a trade difference. If any forum members currentley own the 550 xi M SPORT and would care to give me some honest opinions on the vehicle from performance to enjoyment I would very much appreciate the advice. And how does the E60 compare to the F10.

Thank You.

The 550 Dinan is a great car, but I suspect you will have more fun with the 2 you have, then with just one 550 Dinan. The 135i Dinan is a go-kart. You can't beat that for fun.

But I don't want to discourage you. The 550xi Dinan is basically an m5 disguise.

Stealthpilot - Thank you for the advice. I do agree with everything you are saying. Have you driven the 550 m sport and I do agree that it is close to a M5 with a dinan upgrade.
