Our 2011 Honda Odyssey actually beats its EPA city rating, but if I drove it more aggressively, I doubt it would.

2014 550 vs 535
Its a 2014 550 - Space Gray
It is lowered on ACS springs My 2013 535xi was tuned but it can't compare to the 550. The twin turbo V8 is such a beast of an engine. Alan[/QUOTE] I'm very interested in your comment about comparing your tuned 535xi to your 550. I'm wrestling with getting another 535xi (2015) and tuning it (as I feel the 535xi is under powered), or going for a 2015 550xi. While I guess the tuned 535xi will get better mileage, I can't but wonder if tuning an N55 is "forced", as compared to the natural power and spirited ability of the 550? I drive 80% city, like to have fun fairly often but not a super aggressive driver. I had a 335 N55, I miss the pull that car had (I even wanted more HP and torque for that car), hence I'm just not feeling it in my 2012 535xi. (otherwise a very nice car) Could you expand on your comment about not being able to compare the two cars? Thank Bard |

Bimmerfest has a very informative thread on the different 5 series spec trannys used in the lineup. 535 tranny spec is not setup to take much more additional power.
