I have been searching around for a good comparison between the two, and will drive them back-to-back tomorrow.

I intend to cross-post this on the 5 forum as well (as I am sure each will be in favor of their respective autos), but what is the general consensus on 550 vs 750? The 750 is obviously larger, but I don't NEED the extra space (girlfriend and dog fit just fine in the e92). Notwithstanding, the presence of the 750 is delightfully imposing.

Any anecdotes from cross-shopping 550s and 750s?
From your quote, you said:

"I am currently looking to get out of my 2010 335 in favor of something bigger."

Then you said:
"The 750 is obviously larger, but I don't NEED the extra space (girlfriend and dog fit just fine in the e92)."

So my question is, did you want something bigger or not?
If you want bigger, then go with 7.
Both are great cars - but I would go with the best warrantied unit.
NOTE: Black / Oyster is stunning!
