If you’re looking for a true sport-luxury sedan with cutting-edge style, an incredible amount of technology, plenty of serious performance and an available six-speed manual gearbox, the 550i is definitely worth considering.
Those who’ve come to love the more conservative look of previous-generation BMW cars, both inside and out, may find the 5 Series a bit too avant-garde for their tastes. At this pricepoint, other vehicles on the market offer similar levels of luxury and, in some cases, more interior space, without all the complicated high-tech wizardry.
