Hello everyone,
I brought my '12 550 for service last Friday and they gave me a brand new 330i m sport with 10 miles on the clock for a weekend. I felt like I just bought a new car All in all, I'm impressed with the car. More than enough power for city driving and really good handling. I didn't know 2 litters with 4 cylinders could be that quick. 0-60 in 5.4 sec

same thing with me when BMW gave me a loaner for a day 2016 M//235i Xdrive. thing was pretty damn quick with a nice Performance exhaust. loved the interior...not too impressed with the paddle shifting. but after i got my car back my car felt like a tug boat compared to the 235i

love my 535i and i thought "to me" it was quick but after driving that 235i around i couldn't believe how quick it was. but at the same time the car just felt compact and i could totally feel i was back into a smaller compact car and not the big roominess...if that's a word lol of the 5 series. just depressing how slow my car felt after i left the dealership haha

I wish we would get some nice cars like that. I ended up getting a base base 3 series for a loaner.

Dropped my 5er off to get the AC fixed this morning, no loaners available until March 6th! SA did promise me one if they keep my car for more than 3 days though, I wonder how that works... I did overhear another guy picking up a loaner, his options were a base 3 series or X1.

Guys, this was the first time I got lucky with a new car + m sport. Usually they give base 320 or 328, which are not nice at all compared to the one I got.

the local dealership here in MD gives X1s and X3s. I dropped off the 550 and got an X3 35i...not too shabby. Didn't have all the amenities of a loaded 550i M-sport but then again it doesn't come with the sticker mine did either. Nevertheless, I was still impressed with the comfortable cabin and size. The engine was peppy, no paddles or sport shift options but it got up when in traffic.

It's as fast as 235i, but 550 might feel faster in a straight line due to the amount of torque. Especially with a tune.
