If I was really a numbers only guy I would say something ignorant like "bro the M5 has 144 more horsepower than the M550i and a 0-69 in 3.1675 seconds, bro". ...and yes we know you're M5 slaloms better than the M550i through those curves on your way home from work.

Never did I once say the M550i is a superior car to the M5 or any of the cross platforms, or that it's meant to overachieve over the Flagship M's whatsoever. Logic dictates that the M5 can be tuned also to McLaren numbers. My entire argument is that the gap is bridged between the M550i / 340i compared to M's (let me add those lines for you too ///M), and that these are worthy cars of the M moniker and BMW GmbH no matter how butthurt //////M you are about it.
By your logic then E92 335i is also M car because it definitely can be tuned to embarrass E92 M3. Even stock there was not huge gap in performance #s especially with the much more potent down low torque of the turbo 335.
