Traded e92 for 2012 550xi M-sport... blown away!

accely · 04-10-2015, 08:22 PM

Wow...

New owner of a 2012 550xi M-sport with almost every package except driver conv. 28k miles... I am absolutely blown away by this car.

I feel like I was getting robbed only driving a 2011 M3 before.. i mean sure it was fast and had great quality.. but the 550 is hands down the nicest car I've ever owned or driven. The level of luxury is just amazing and it's performance is equally great. I remember when I thought a Chrysler 300 SRT8 was a luxury vehicle....WRONG! /

2 hour car ride home is a great way to break in a new car.

Comfort modes are so smooth. Sports modes are perfect IMO. With 400hp/440tq in AWD it's very solid when you really put your foot down.

Not to mention I'm 6'2, 250lb muscular guy and the 550 is really what I needed. I continue to be blown away by BMW!

Few pics attached. absolutely gorgeous in person they are, pictures DO NOT to the 5 series justice. After seeing the wheels/tires in person I like the M-sport quite a bit and sits quite nicely, 2.5 fingers space in rear, 3 fingers in front.

Plan on making the rims gloss black and installing the gloss black kidney grills, then I dont know what's next!
Also got my first BMW dealer appt scheduled next week to get routine maint. and start inspection for the care package.

Congrats Accely. Very nice. I had an E46 M3 Individual Convertible and was looking at an E90 M3 before discovering an F10. No difference in power but significant difference in space, comfort, and toys. Welcome to the club and enjoy your time in it.
