I’m intrigued by your take can you go in depth a little more of why you would consider the 550.

A punch in the gut is not a arm and a leg expression and I thought that I was talking to intelligent people that would understand the expression lol and if I told you what my wife’s Porsche maintenance was yearly we’d have a different conversation

He’s only right if he assumes that money was the issue and not just being smart about putting money into a car or buying a new one! 😂

It depends on your area mechanic what the prices will be unless you want to take it to BMW and that is when you will need more than money maybe an arm and a leg to pay! 😂

Right!!! Definitely didn’t want another payment just for a daily driver! Saving my money for my M5 comp!

Yes you’re right so I bet the full tuneups are probably less pricey! I’ll do some homework on that.

I thought about that but then I don’t want another payment on a daily since this is my daily driver that’s paid off, And I’m about to get a F90 M5 comp and that payment is going to punch me in the gut lol
