It has the GGT. My 2013 is 15/22 on the sticker, with an average of 17. I paid GGT. Of course I have a 6mt.

Ah. So perhaps it's just the 6MT that gets the GGT. I'm not sure what the new GGT rules are, but 15/22 might well get it where 15/24 would not. Another look at bmwusa.com shows that the AT does not show GGT but MT does.

Looks like that 6MT isn't a no-cost option on the 550i after all...

Well worth the 1k GGT for me...

Some still say yes, others still say no.
