M550xi vs e43 vs s6
looking to get wifey a new car and we love our v8's
have been wanting to get into a BMW for a while and I kinda like this m550xi
This will outperform the e43 I think but I'm wondering if these will be about the same cost. Also the tech should be impressive
what do you guys think

Performancewise, I think the highest performing is theS6 but they are all fairly close. Tech and interiorwise the E 43 is hands down the best.

The 2018 G30 in M550ix form should arrive late in 2017. The end of production for the 2017 G30 models is June 2017. It will be a very short model year since the G30's won't be introduced in North America until next week in Detroit.

The Panamara S all wheel drive hits first, a turbo v6 with 440hp. $100,000 list but as we all know Porsche destroys you on options. It's only a 4 seater as well which I just don't get at all, silly. I hate to admit it, but it seems with no e400 option, the e43 might make the most sense right now for the performance mid size luxury cruiser with Audi and BMW a year behind Mercedes on model updates. Regards. Ned.

Of course we can all just buy Accords and be done with it. Car and Driver said so. Regards. Ned.

Another posted spoke of trading in his e550 for the new e300 and not really missing the power due to the all around greatness of the e300. Are you feeling the same way. Regards. Ned.

The BMW M550xi looks fine Peter. Classic BMW styling. The S6 is fine too for that matter. I've seen a E43 up close and the exterior just looks a bit too bland to me. Some folks like the look though, so that is just a matter of personal taste. Interior of the E43 looks great though. Very S Class like in many aspects.
However for someone who loves the smooth, effortless power of a V8, especially after driving an AMG or any other V8 for a long time, the current engine choice in the E43 might be a constant disappointment. Something to consider. Maybe the supposed E50 might be a netter alternative, if you can wait that long.

The new Bimmer G30 is a 540i. The 535i moniker is retired.
My daily driver is an E60 2008 535i. It is very smooth and revs easily right up to the red line. With a chip it will push out an extra 100 ponies.
