There’s no denying that the BMW M550i truly has M-performance. Thanks to its 4.4 liter twin-turbocharged V8, making a very healthy 523 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque, the M550i can rocket from 0-60 mph in about three and a half seconds.


The exact numbers will very based on tire choice and temperature but my test car was running winter Michelin Alpin tires and they likely held it back from its true potential. Still, the M550i is bullet train-fast in a straight line and will simply erase vast sections of tarmac with alarming immediacy. Drive an M550i everyday and you’ll be ten minutes early, wherever you go.


So the M550i certainly delivers on the “M Performance” it claims to have. Yet, despite that, it never feels like a true M car and that’s a good thing.
