Question!!!
hello, just test drove a 11 550i xdrive. under the middle gauge there is a led bar for the battery, is that supposed to fluctuate back and forth constantly? while on the highway i notice the led bar drop near its lowest point and the car felt like it was going to stall.

I know exactly what you might have felt.
FYI thats the instant MPG, and the 2011 550s (n63) are known to have injector issues so you probably felt that issue, usually a sputter or misfire feel.

The car shouldn't feel like it's going to stall. At the very most, you should feel a very, very slight "drag" - as kinetic energy is harvested back to potential and into your battery. Anything but a super smooth ride is unusual for the 5 series - something is wrong with that car. To be sure, go drive 3 or 4 more.
