I briefly get my hands on the brand new BMW M550i xDrive, a serious bit of kit that might make more sense over the M5 Comp as a fast daily. I will hopefully get my hands on another M550i soon, maybe compare it to the M5....
Thanks for watching as always, see you at at the next video!

![2020 BMW 5 Series M550i 530HP 4.4 V8 BiTurbo REVIEW on AUTOBAHN [NO SPEED LIMIT] by AutoTopNL](/img/n.gif)
Thanks for watching guys, new M5 Competition video coming very soon 🎬 Have a great weekend ♥️
Np
amazing video...can’t wait for the new M5 competition video 😍
Looking forward to it mate. Looks even better now and they’ve improved the ride comfort too.
Would be amazing to compere both cars on the road and many would be surprise with results. M550i is doing better job on the roads for 30% less money 💵 Compere both cars on track is rather pointless 😜 and on the roads is where most this cars will be use anyway. M550i is far better everyday use car then M5.
Brilliant as always! And what was that?...new M5 Competition video coming out soon...Yaaaas!!!
"Not as large as some current BMW grilles" - nice shade Joe.
Not large at all, it's perfect on the 5.
I like the grill on this. Big enough to be imposing but not so big its crazy like the others.
I love it ... it’s only about 0.5 seconds slower than the M5 comp and much more cheaper... it’s a beast
I prefer it to the M5 oddly enough. Sounds better. Looks even more subtle. Mega car.
Me too. If the M5 and M5C sound like this would be amazing
Does your wallet though? Gotta put that into consideration
@@slin4013 I can’t even afford a service on one of these let alone buy the car 👀
For me M5 looks also better, but real world performance, comfort, live with it, price this is the better car
@@slin4013 stop being cocky peasant.
That's a perfect car to purchase dude. It has a v8 for v8 fans, exhaust not to loud and it's comfortable enough and that it has more assistant features than m5 like remote parking that is not available on m5 if ever someone has noticed..
Very true. That being said, where I live this is $100 000 before tax. That is too much. Just wait 3-4 years when it drops to around 30 000 and then it is a steal of a deal.
If I had the money I'd go for this and remove the badges... boom. Sleeper
That’s an awesome sleeper for someone who doesn’t want the shout of an M5, looking forward to the LCi M5 video 👌
Thanks for watching 👌
Our phone 📲 was in a
That exhaust is bad ass for Europe give that thing a tune and your M5 competition level no problem
That initial start up though. What a noise!
Thunder isn't it 🔥
Love the M550. Bought 2 (used) 2018s in 5 months because the first one was totaled by a red light runner 3 months after I bought it. Same color and same wheels as the one you drove here. Mine has a little less power than the newer ones but was the fastest 5 series ever built when it was released in 2018. 2nd one cost me $37,000USD. Worth every penny and more. Nice job on the review. Thank you.
Even under time pressure, Joe delivers a very good 1st drive impression.
I am surprised there were no remarks on the sound of the engine/exhaust. From behind the screen, it was pretty good!
I wish BMW 5 series does not change this recipe of looking incredible.
What would be interesting are some head to heads with their respective M car bretherin.
I'd be stoked to see an M440i vs M4 etc.
Just to really get a better idea of what the extra cost gets you in performance and daily living.
Great idea😎
Yes Joe be the 1st to do this!! Or get Matt to do it with you on Car Wow!! 2019 M340i vs M3, M440i vs M4, M550 vs M5!! Drag 0-60, rolling race, and quarter mile.
@@superstarsfastcars Aye, see what's a better daily drive!
Absolute dream of a car, looks, luxury, sound note, performance...it has it all. Cant belive Audi only gives diesel in Europe in their S6 XD
A 6 cylinder diesel with shouty, yet completely fake exhausts no less
I own M550i since 2018 and I bough the car instead of M5. I had each of them for week and it was actually easy choice to pick M550i instead of M5.
It may sound strange for many people but u have to drive this cars to understand how good they are and witch one suits u best.
M550i is relatively unknown because most pundits and journalists test drive M5 so most people know M5 as the 5 series to go for.
Picking M550i it was best decision for many years because this car for everyday use is amazing and much better than M5.
Only thing u may be missing in M550i is fun/crazy factor of M5 but than u lose other things having M5 instead.
Well ........ I decided to fix the problems differently 🤣
I added some money to the price difference between M550i and M5 and this year I got M2 competition.
I don’t think I could have better two cars set up. There is one more car coming in couple of years to make it three car set up .....M3 touring but that’s for another story 👊. In general M competition line up cars from BMW become great choice for many people .... or I am just getting older 🤔
As always great stuff Joe.👏
You own an M550i and an M2 competition? Sir can I please work for you because I'm tired of taking the bus to work
Which year m550i u got
@@eseyc9975 2018 production year
I’ve got 2019 m550. Added an ECU tune for $1500. Now has 600hp and tq. Fast as hell! Best sports sedan available for the price.
What a sound from that engine 😮 Thanks for the quick review, Joe - really appreciated!
Crazy to think that a m550i is faster than some previous generation m5’s
Probably faster than every M5 apart from G’s.
Isn't it!
0-62 maybe a little cause xdrive then m5 f10 smoke this car.
@@bartbart6545 no it wouldn’t. In the real world on a B-road it wouldn’t stand a chance
@@Stretch1386 I am not talking about the B-roads...who races on B-road mate?😂
I am talking about high speeds,rolling races,race tracks etc
Love the way that car looks. The grey accents combined with those headlights, wow.
What a sound on that machine! Thanks for the super fast review, Joe - really appreciated 👍🏽
I love these narrow streets. Nice landscape, nice car and personable man.
Greetings Elisabeth from Munich 😊
Thank you Elisabeth ♥️
Ordered mine last week in Bernina Grey and Shadow Line. I only wanted to test drive it, but the dealership made me an offer I couldn't refuse. This video makes me even more excited to finally get my hands on it - thank you!
Awesome buddy, very jealous! Incredible understated monster of a car 🔥
rob spot Im currently looking at ordering a M550i. How good was the offer?
@@jaya8113 Not sure if it's comparable to your situation. I'm currently leasing an X3 M40i with 12 months left on my lease. The dealership's offer was to take over the lease and I got the loyalty discount + the factory discount. Including down payment I'm looking at around $950 per month for the lease, which I think is a good deal having in mind that I still had a lease. Best of luck to find a good deal!
rob spot thanks for the information. It was very helpful. Its something that i can use when negotiating with my dealership. Better you cant wait for your car to arrive. Its seems like an absolute beast!
Test drove the 2020 M550 last September and ending up buying it on the spot. One of the finest daily drivers out there- and everyone underestimates it until it roars past them at the traffic light. Thanks Joe for a great review!
That was rather questionable life decision considering how bad BMW N63 engines actually are.
@@dusanbolek8004Not to worry! It will be gone within the 4 year warranty period ( I’m already itching for something new!) 😄
@@dusanbolek8004 always get the extended warranty, saved me thousands
@@992seefouress sounds like yiu should have got the M5 afterall
@@JodysCorner kept the M550 ( it’s been super reliable) and got a 911 Carrera 4s. Zero regrets! Both are awesome.
Joe is always the most authentic and genuine car youtuber. Great to see your channel gaining a lot of traction lately. Genuinely nice guy that deserves all the views. Great review as always. Cheers.
Thank you bro, it's a really nice feeling for me, efforts are gaining rewards right now 👌 Have a lovely weekend!
A bang up to date 5 series with the subtleties of a sledgehammer!! I think they've nailed that one! Well raucous!!
Great job, Joe. Good amount of info and driving impressions, and well shot and edited, all on a very limited timeline!
The man is in his zone
wasn't expecting the sound when he gives it a few revs!! NIIIICE!!
What a piece of kit. Couldn’t be more apt for this.
Love the new headlights and taillights, the most beautiful in business. Definitely the new King of all sedans
I saw and heard one of these the other day and I’ve been dreaming about it ever since. Sweet review as usual
Great stuff Joe 👍.
If only this had arrived sooner. There are some well priced low mileage M5s to compete with now. Perhaps this M550i will fare better in estate form, at least until the M4 Touring arrives...
Wow a luxury sleeper very simple and sleek I love it. Mind blowing from the outside you don’t know it’s a beast.
Came back to rewatch this after watching your Competition video. Both great reviews
Great video in spite of the time constraints Joe! If you didn't tell me you were short on time, I would've thought this was a normal video. Great job as always mate!
I've got an x5 f15 with the same engine and I'd say this sounds just like it. I myself love the deep rumble of the v8 and yes it is very powerful, so this should be a wonderful car to enjoy. Actually just the other day someone else was driving my x5 and I was standing outside of it for the first time while it was going past me and wow it does sound great, such a deep rumble of power. A glorious sound
This and the M5 fast eneough for anyone, just depends on the type of drive you like as to which is best. Wonderfull continent crossing transport.
Totally agree with you Joe heads up display in BMW are brilliant.
Quality video again.👍
Nice and informative short review. Well done.
Thanks Joe! That was a short bit, I love my M550i there is some much more to this car!
Great content! Can’t believe you got so much useable stuff in about half an hour. Really good stuff. Well done.
Oh, and will we get the Touring version...!
Thanks buddy, it was a manic 35 mins 😂👌
YES JOE LONG TIME.
Excellent video and content for 30 mins. WOW
thank you
The 5 LCI is one of the best looking BMW's currently for my money. Debadged, it's a winner. Top vid given you only had a short time with it 👍
Nice review Joe. Look forward to seeing your M5 comp LCU review
Stunning looking car, pretty much an all rounder 🔥. Thanks Joe, pretty decent review for given the time limitations
I appreciate ALL of your Videos Joe, Keep them coming!
That sound is gorgeous!
Stunning lines, flexible, very adjustable and lovely colour. Car doesn't look bad either!.
If i were a car salesman, I would show this video of Joe's reaction every time he hits the gas. Car sold🤣
😂😂😂👌
Joe you're first honest reviewer. Good review in 60 mins.
Love the sound, nice rumble and growl 👍 Imagine how good it would sound with an aftermarket exhaust!
I don't think I'd bother.
This is the car I would buy this car is a sleeper and as fast has hell and looks absolutely amazing but I would have a slightly different spec and modal deletion on the back etc. Love it Joe just love it mate 💙💙
Great video as always Joe, keep them coming!
Thanks man
Can’t wait to see your review on the M5 Competition LCI!
I am not guy, not at all - but I love how you did this video. You are extremely sympathetic and authentic - super!! I let a abo- for sure!!
Is it just me or does that thing sound even better than an M5 Comp?!
Just you
Stunning car! Thanks for sharing the video 👍
A very good all round car... Looks beautiful.
Nice 👍 the sound from the exhaust 👍
Wow, looks and sounds like a beast. Would be great to see what #Evolve can do with the 550i 😊
Mate. This car is deadly! Can’t get over how good this is
Spectacular car!!! I'm sold on the exhaust note, nevermind all the other technology. Yeah, will take this instead of M5, any day. Great review 👍🏻
I have already bought the new M5 competition. It is an amazing car.
Waiting for your opoinion on this new model.
My god! The front look is absolutely gorgeous...the best one in my opinion...
Finally a legit exhaust sound and notice his facial expressions @ around 5:49 says it all 🤣💪
I fell in love with two cars: The M240i and the M550i
Love this - absolute sleeper! - Cheers for sharing bud!👍👍
Cheers for watching bro ❤️
Enjoyed the video Joe. The sound is impressive. Did you notice if the sound was piped to the speakers?
Hi Joe, just wanted to say thanks for all the m135i videos I just bought myself one today 👍
Amazing! Thanks for watching my stuff and congratulations 🙌
@@JoeAchilles1 the 2013 version that is- God forbid if I bought a 2020 one...
You should have mine! 3 weeks old and sat in Heathrow doing nothing for the next few days 😂 great video, impressive car
Don’t know if it’s better than the M5, but the M550i of the video surely is astonishingly spected👌🏻 Beautiful fury
The face lifted G30 5 series is so tempting to own. What a fabulous car.
Nicely done Review. BMW is working wonders with their headlamps and taillights design. And of course powerplant.
Nice effort but about as much help in appreciating a fine piece of engineering as a dealer offering a 20 minute test drive in a demonstrator with 5 miles of fuel in the tank. Looking forward to a return to the usual well thought out detailed driving impressions that we get from a great professional like Joe Achilles.
Wow! That thing sounds like a bloody beast!
Thank God that BMW still build this type of car! Stunning.
I hope they make a Touring version of this! Would look stunning 😍
Starting to search for your new vids now. Loving the new content, and a very nice surprise this m550i, wasn’t expecting this. In the past the model down from the m5 has always been abit dull, defo not this one 👍
Great video, amazing content, I love the stealth nature of the vehicle but without full M branding will residuals suffer by comparison with the M5 Comp?
Wow, beautiful! And sounds absolutely glorious!
Another great video Joe, can't wait for the M5 Comp ;)
Thanks buddy!
Hey Joe, the M550i would also be my pick of the 5 series range. I dislike the new dials & also dislike the fact you can't turn off the speaker generated sport noises when you go into Sport or Sport+ mode. Some of us just like to fly quietly - LOL! But I love everything else about the 5.
That start up 😭😭😭 are we fighting or something 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾😍😍😍😍🔥
Would be great to do a full review of this beast, especially now that BMW has fixed the acceleration problem.
Fantastic car Joe and nice video 👌 as always on your channel.
Thank you buddy 👌👊
Great job. Sometimes quickies are better than planned events 😁😉👍🏼
Got a 2020 m550i. Amazing car! I love it.
Joe great BMW videos. Question, you have driven them both and but 2021 M5 Comp or X5M Comp? Any other sleepers that I should seriously consider?
Lookings amazing, thats the grill all bmws deserve.
Enjoyable! glad I have one in the garage!
If I can ever afford something like this, this is right up there... Beautiful!
Nice vid for such a short time. Trying to work out if I know the road. Now wondering if all G30's have rear wheel steering - I had a 19 plate 520d for a month last year and was surprised how well it handled a twisty B road and didn't feel huge compared to my two series once up to speed.
Joe, as usual you deliver a pure and concise first drive analysis on this “wolf” in sheep’s clothing...looks completely the business
Great sleeper 😎 like it Joe 👍🏻 good quick video 😜
Cheers man 👊
Now this is a beautiful Machine!!👌🏽
Wow wow wow Joe! That's an incredible car. Thanks for sharing
Pleasure mate, thanks for watching it buddy 👊♥️
@@JoeAchilles1 No Problem. I look forward to your video's. I also shared on an new Facebook Group that I started... facebook.com/groups/710285556500668/
Hi Joe, a question, this one or the new M3, which one would you recommend.
My question with these N63 updated motors and there has been many updates since the original but have they licked the valve seal issue ? And if so was at what update was it resolved?
Love the exhaust note 👌🏾
No crackles and pops like on the M850i? What about the driving dynamics? Is it as good as the M5 up to 8/10th or is the feedback of the M5 way better also at low speeds?
Really like the LCI and this engine.
Thanks for the good effort Joe...
Morning and good Job Joe! 👌
Thanks
Joe is getting better and better. Deserves 400K subscribers at least.
Great video man, keep it up...!!!
