Looks really good, too bad you can't really enjoy the back seats...

Yes, the B5 is an AMAZING car. Very much a fast Q-ship. qdtjant and I had the pleasure to drive a M5C and the B5 last summer over a few days. The B5 is the superior car in every performance department. I really LOVED the Alpina B5. IF I had the money I'd own one. Yep, a B5 wagon should be in the US lineup. Send your letters to BMWNA now!! Unfortunately, the next Alpina model the US we might see is an X7 Alpina model. At least from the spy pics we've seen. Dackel

Hey Mpower10S: I had mixed feelings on the M550i. I moved to Wisconsin from California, so ordered the car from my dealer in CA. It came with summer rated tires on 21" wheels. I had the car for 2 years, no problems except for what I considered excessive tire noise. The wheels I spec'ed were factory with non run flats. I've never owned a car with so much tire noise. Not sure if that was the summer rated tires, or what. But it was pretty bad. Car had lots of power, but if I had to do it again I'd get the M5, which wasn't out yet when I bought the M550i (fall of 2017). Happy to answer any other questions.

Absolutley agree with Dackel a dream car ! The B5 was the overall better car over the M5. It was some really nice days we spent with those two cars, loved it. 😊👍

I guess I'm the only one here who would be embarrassed walking up to that front end in a parking lot? Looks like it eats small children for breakfast with that maw.

You sound like a sad and jealous troll with way too much free time on your hands. Maybe you should find a hobby, or better yet ditch the BMW and take a lonely hike over to the Merc forums and be the nonsense spewing mamaluke you were raised to be.

I was going to go CPO because I thought the prices on the '18s would fall a lot more by now so now I'm going to lease an M340i or X3 M40i. However selfishly I wish the values of used M550s would crater a bit

Yes, I think NYC and NJ have the worst roads in the country. We pay the highest taxes but not sure where all that money goes...surely not on our roads.

I've spent extensive time driving in the Tri-State area and can safely say your roads are indeed trash. Although we've got you beat by a fair amount, nobody can compare to the complete havoc of what's going on in Michigan. A couple years ago I actually caught some decent airtime going over a rift on I94 in my Merc Sprinter..
