We can’t talk about the 2020 BMW M550i without talking about the engine. The 2020 M550i gets an extra 68 horsepower taking the total to 523. It’s breathtaking. It’s calm and well mannered at slow speeds about town while you drop the kids at school, then hit a couple buttons and it’s an absolute savage. It’s quite simply wonderful.

amazing car review also can I have the address to scott's house or radio station so that I can mail him letters.
Today I picked up a 2020 M550i , Blue metallic, moccha interior. Folks all I could say, "What a nice & beautiful beast!!!"
Congratulations!
@@FamilyWheels thank you!!!! I love this car.
How do you still like it?
@@derekochoa8313 i did love the car. This past April for my 61st birthday, I traded it fir a 2021 M5 Competition. Donington gray exterior and tartufo interior. It is a scary monster.
Nice review. I hadn't seen your channel before today unfortunately, but you've got a new fan and subscriber. Thank you.
Excellent review. One of the few that I’ve seen that detail the differences between the various manufacturing years. Well done!
Just picked this up last week and god damn this thing is a monster!
Any problem thinking about grabbing 1
@@B2stunt1 I’ve had it for about a year and then I traded it in for a 19’ M5 competition. The m550 was a solid car, engine is way better with many improvements over the years since n63 came out. The only issue I had with the m550 was a leaky thermostat and that’s it.
Excellent review - in the market and this was super helpful! Thank you!
Great review - watched it during my research before getting my M550i. Thanks!
@@Evan-memo The M550 is an amazing balance of luxury and performance. In comfort mode the car is a comfortable and quiet cruiser. In sport plus mode it shifts like a DCT and has exhaust burbles. It’s like two cars in one
Great review!!
Astonishing bump in power output! Now more than double the original M5. The M550i makes the M5 a difficult choice to rationalize.
Personally I still think the M340i strikes a better balance, but I can see how someone would want this for the extra luxury.
Yes I was thinking a lot about the M340i while driving this and if made to choose, would probably pick the M340, was just a little bit more tighter and nimble, but hey.. either would do me just fine!
You make a great point. Especially after the bump in HP on the M340i but with a family of 4 rear seat space is limited on the 3 series. For me standing at 6”2 and 3 more passengers the 5 series checks every box.
I have a M550 and when you drive a M5, the choice is not hard at all. My 2021 M5 comp just docked in the US and I should have it in a week. Do not get me wrong, M550 is a GREAT car and enjoyed it for 3 years. For 2021, M550 gets the M5 seats minus the lighted M5 logo in the headrests.
Good car review also what radio station does Scott work at because I would like to send him letters
She’s a beauty!!!
It could be used as a family sedan, but it's not ideal. I think I've seen Impalas with more backseat room and accessibility for children and car seats. That said, having this would do my little family fine, and that jump in power and refinement would have us cruising in style on holiday, or simply making grocery trips a sheer pleasure. It's a performance luxury car that can be used as a family car, but isn't really meant for that. Still... I'd love one in my driveway.
You said it perfectly, it's not totally ideal but..... we'd gladly make allowances for the pleasure of driving it every day
What rear facing car seat was used in the back seat portion of the video? The Q5 was terribly small for our nuna pipa with base attached. Will have pipa and exec for this car. Great video and channel concept!
This car is stunning. I skipped the 5 series for a Genesis G80 Sport but I’m 90% convinced my next vehicle in this segment is the M550i. It’s been my dream car. Then i will be complete. 😁
One hell of a ride :)
The G80 impressed the heck out of me when I drove on recently (2019 model)... very solid and luxurious. 2021 is going to be faster, better sound system, lighter, and better infotainment etc.. Im going to be checking one out for sure when they arrive.
TW F isn’t the G80 perrrtttyyyy 😬 and luxurious and awesome in all aspects. I got scolded by my best friend who’s a mechanic about being stupid if I got rid of my Genesis for a bmw and he literally drives a 440iM tuned to 500hp. 🤣🤣🤣
@@bacvain I know its a different car but my daughter has a 2017 elantra and its having a lot of problems with the coils... hope its not across the entire hyundai and Genesis lineup because I might get the 2021
TW F i gotta say that Hyundai and Genesis are very different at every level including the platform on which they are built. A lot of people say there are some things similar but that’s also about change completely on the 2021 and over.
I think the reason the rear seat postion in regaurds to the rear wheels is so tight is to keep the handling perfomance of the vehicle at top notch level. If you slide them further back youd lose the fun handling. Ill gladely tske the awesome handling over the extra couple inches.
Where do you live in Canada? I'm going to Calgary next year and i'd like to buy a good car as soon as possible
Love it!
Did this car have the Dynamic Handling Package? If so, how did it feel in corners? Cross shopping one of these with the M340i which I expect to be better handling, but we've got a 2 year old, so thinking about trunk space and backseat as well.
Don’t know, the review was by our previous host. From my experience the 5 Series is just a lot more car, obviously ($), but has very good handling too. And the M550i ups all that-very appealing. If I could swing the capital cost and gas money was no problem then it’d be the M550i. Thanks for watching.
Dream car
lol "you could buy this... and you wouldn't be unhappy"
Do you own a late model BMW? If so, some feedback would be appreciated.
rick johnson I own a 2016 X5, so pretty late model. What do you want to know?
They’re expensive after the warranty period. Great for the BMW service department. Here in Los Angeles the hourly labor rate exceeds $200 USD plus the cost of the parts. The cost of the electronic parts are unexpectedly high. That’s why most people lease these here. This basically applies to all high end European autos...I’m talking to you Range Rover!
@@rickjohnson9856 i drive the 550i 2018..... Greet car for sure!
I have just jumped from a BMW535d to a fully loaded BMW750 msport V8. The 535D was an incredible car to drive, the kick down was neck snapping, I had owned it for 8 years and was sorry to see it go despite trading it in for the 750. The 7 feels a lot bigger than the 5 despite it only being only a little bit bigger. The MPG on the 5 was between 50 and 60 mpg, thankfully I only drive about 2500 miles a year so the 15mpg round town or 28mpg on longer journeys is mot an issue. This new 5 looks great but who would order it in cow pat brown?
Porfavor también hagan la traducción en español Grasias
Nice review. Do you happen to know what color the seats are?
I believe these were mocha nappa
Family Wheels Correct, I have the identical car, Carbon black ext., Mocha and 668 20” rims
That Interior though...
Gorgeous
You really just have the car seats sitting on the bare seat? No blanket or some sort of layer that would prevent those deep holes you’ve drilled into the seats?
Lethally fun!!! :D
An Aussie doing a German car in Canada...
And he did a great job. 👍
As much as I love BMW, they really need to step up their game! Especially when these Korean and Japanese manufacturers are including some of these luxury extras as standard as opposed to paying extra. That car is not worth $100k I test drove a Genesis G90 and was pleasantly surprised at the ride experience as well as the interior was almost equal to the German luxury brands. No one is impressed with iDrive in 2020!
Quality is a big difference too. My dad had a g80 and now has this exact car. This is also 80k American because of the engine no Korean brand makes a competitor with 550hp msrp 76k this spec 87k.
cmon bud! You can’t be serious when comparing a cereal box Korean toy car to this German beauty. 🤣 🤣 😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭
Trunk size is what you check at early part? That must be for SUV or hatchback not sedan.
As a dad, what is the reason behind the all of the bottles duct-taped together 5:13?
That’s his “rocket” 🤪 Just a bunch of empty bubble solution bottles taped together 👍🏻
@@FamilyWheels Either way, keeps them busy!
Very nice car to lease if you have the means.
I had this car for one year and trade in with M4 competition. I love M4.
Family Wheels I got a question for you have you been ignoring me because I have been asking for scott shantz? i just really want to talk to him he is my hero and i look up to him and i got so much to tell him and some other people to tell him about.
Hi Mike, I appreciate your enthusiasm, however, I'm not sure how I can help you? Scott is not with the channel or a radio station right now. Perhaps try social media?
@@FamilyWheels ok well I do have Twitter I do follow him on it.
when did Marty Bird start a youtube channel?
1/2 price when 2 years old... 2018's are selling for around 55 to 58 k Canadian with 30,000 km on them (kilometers)... I will wait a couple years and get the 2020 with 523 hp. Im not paying $105,000.. They depreciate very rapidly. ... In 5 years my wifes 2020 rav 4 hybrid will likely be worth more.
Lol you sound dumb u can get a 2020 bmw 550i xdrive for 60-70k used low miles your wife weak ass rav4 is trash compare to any bmw don’t even bring up Toyota compare to bmw
@@dennistv598 lol you clueless moron, Im BUYING a M550.. My wifes rav4 is hers I wouldnt want one... but no way Im buying a NEW 550, they drop like a rock in value.. and they are NOT comparable at all you idiot Im not trying to compare them.. People and their stupid comments on here, learn to read !! .... FYI a BMW 550i used 4 years old is worth $32,000 to $34,000... a 4 year old RAV 4 is worth $27,000 limited hybrid... Im talking resale you farking clown.. Get a JOB.. Troll.
TW F get a job?? I have a job white boy making a lot lol don’t even
@@dennistv598 whats race got to do with it? Never mind I see where its coming from... Say hi to your mom from me. I still owe her that 5 bucks.
TW F lol ok keep thinking white boy
no way you can get 11l/100km, that is insane for 530Hp. Good review tho.
👍🏻
I love how BMW and other luxury car manufacturers provide super high-tech solutions so that You don’t scratch Your car while parking and to make life easier. Sorry to break it to anyone: it’s going to be that pothead with a beater car who’s going to bump into Your car while parked, who’s not gonna care how nicely You’d parked Your super expensive car into such a tight spot. 🤣🤣😅
i have a working model of this car on roblox (that even has working carplay and almost all of the stuff on a actual m550i)
Interesting that it doesn’t have the massive grill that the other 2020 bimmers have
Too bad all bmws have had the same damn design since like 2009
What about lexus and audi?
Because it's the old design. They show the refreshed one at the beginning.
Pretty sure that's just for the new 7 series
And it’s for the better, I think the 7 series was absolutely RAPED by that grille
If this came with the body options of the M5 it would much more appealing
Where is the original guy?
Hiya, Paul was unable to maintain the commitment (it takes a lot of work), unfortunately :(
Perhaps if he did not sit so far back in the driving seat,there might be more room in the back ??
You can see by the front passenger seat (in the right place) the extra room.And there is no ME in
Family !!!!
Who would have a lazy 100k lined up
The only thing holding me back from giving this car serious consideration is their questionable reliability.
Money is on your mind not mine. Sounds like a bit of projection on your part. People with means don’t worry about what’s in other people’s pockets.
I'm 2 years late on this response and all I have to say is if this model has 5% the problems I had with the first iteration then run as fast as you can the other way.....I had a 2011 550xi sport and yeah I know it wasn't an actual M550 but branding was different then but that car was a NIGHTMARE. THE WORST BMW I HAVE EVER OWNED SO BAD THAT IM BITTEN TWICE SHY 😢
To be fair you are buying a powerful v8 you have to trade off a little reliability for this car. Ive heard the new bmws are reliable tho.
Why are you wearing pink shorts?
They're PEACH!!
who cares what colour they are?
It’s not 100k
It’s 78,000.00 base
Yep, tested price is $101k
Canadian $$
CAD 100.000 that's very cheap compared to The Netherlands CAD 270.000.
engine problems at 80,000 miles lease this car do not buy but other then that its beautiful
Is this the n63 engine?
I am looking at these gorgeous leather seats and can't imagine putting a child seat with lovely kiddo who enjoys his banana squash of chocolate protein bar after his training. lovely car, I couldn't find a reason to buy a sedan instead of an estate but I wouldn't be upset about a company car.
You're spot on Michal. Having my kids in there with crackers and fruit snacks etc raises my stress levels through the roof!!
@@FamilyWheels right? I am looking at all these white/grey quilted nappa leather seats in the press 7seater Kia Sorento and thinking, yeah.. .truly family configuration. I wouldn't take white leather in MY sports car because of my blue chinos and jeans and you are putting it to a family hauler.. how brave.
get an M5
With a JB4 tune you’ll have an M5 comp
Freddie Rodriguez not true, chassis and suspension are totally different.
M550i is much better for daily driving, gives you more comfort and is much cheaper.
If you don't go to track M5 makes no sense
Over 12 minutes.............yet didn't bother to look at the boot?
Really????????????????
BMW spent money on quality parts than electric sunshades. Visit Genesis forums and you will understand why Genesis is cheaper but more gizmos. Sunroof noises, trim fading, interior plastics falling apart, and list goes on. I was considering a Genesis until I did more research. The car will also feel old after a year or 2 due to cheaper bushings etc. That said BMW V8's engines are not trouble free. Some issues they still haven't figured out even in multiple generations. Their inline six is the best engine in the bunch. Then again we don't buy these due to being a totally trouble free experience due to the nature of BMW pushing the envelope. Still much better reliability than MB or Audi. Had them all.
As a family car, I take X5 over this sedan any day and look better. As a performance car, I take a Charger Hellcat widebody and intimidate the hell out of any BMW sedan. Nuff said.
X5 for the family works better, for sure. Was looking at the M50i the other day, what a beast!
Why canadian grown men wear short shorts? Who knows
It cost me 78,000 in the us you got ripped off dude lol
Wait till 2024.. and save 50 k. On a used one. BMW depreciates way too fast. Just make sure its 40k miles or so.
2018s with low km are going for less than 60k now canadian..
Don't mention "Genesis" = Hyundai and BMW in the same sentence if you want to be taken seriously...
Test drove the facelift 2021 model..very numb and bland!!
Do you grow fruit flies?
Tesla has destroyed these over complex Germans in performance and gotta have it factor.
The range on the new i4 looks impressive. It's gonna be $$$$ though.
Tesla is electric and that's not without its own problems
bmw is very boring these days
Your opinion isn't relevant
Stop comparing m550i with M5. Totally different car. M5 is in another league.
BORING
Yes, you are boring indeed :)
M5, no need this BS info. Nobody wants a m550i if you csn buy a real M car like the M5.
I can afford a M5 but wouldnt buy one, not needed. I like power and a V8 but I also like a softer ride so the 550 would be for me I think.. M5 too in your face and harsher suspension.
Half of u people talking shit don’t even have anything fast
So useless to buy a 550i... just buy the M5 ...
M5 is senseless for daily driving. M550i gives you more comfort is almost as fast as the M5 and is way cheaper...
If you don't go to track, but buy an M5, you'd be pretty dumb
BMW is the most unreliable car you can buy and that’s a fact
Zeno Gashi BMW is the most fun to drive car you can buy and that’s a fact
No. That would be a Ford.
I’ve had 3 in a row. Never had a single problem.
Brad Hansen looking at an x5 - any experience with one? Thank you
never owned one... my neigbor on either side of me both have X3, both newer 2018 models but the one guy is on his second one, last one was a 2013 I think and he loves them..
