In the 4 years I've had a 535 I have never been wanting for the extra power and I'm loving the 31+ mpg on the freeway; in-town mpg is also pretty good. Would the 550 be fun? Oh yeah! Is it worth it, to me, to be anxious every time we planned a road trip? Not in the slightest. Were BMW to make a V8 as reliable as the I6 I would still get the I6.

You sir are a smart man...I made the same decision based on similar reasoning. I wish BMW could make a reliable V8 like Mercedes, M278 for example is awesome!
