2010 BMW 550 Gran Turismo consumer reviews

Bought used (a dealer loaner for a year and a half). Acceleration is uneven (up to 20 MPH) from a dead start (twin-turbo), but very fast to 60 and 100. Handling is awesome. Haven't driven in snow/or ice yet (it is the xDrive model). A short learning curve for the DVD/Nav system and park distance control with camera. I've never had a car with Nav or camera/PDC. BMW dealer very fair in price. It's not a popular BMW model in the US so the pricing has really come down over the year and a half since it's delivery. I haven't needed to call the agent or dealership yet in the one month that I've had the car. Service can't be commented on yet. This is my 4th BMW, but first since 2001 5 series model. There's much more room for pax in this car than a 5 series (cab dimensions are more like the 7 series sedan). Entering and exiting the car is easier that the lower line sedans, but shorter that the tall X5 ( I'm 6' and 190 lbs.). Price is $10k cheaper than the X5 similarly equipped. I paid for one with four options/packages: panarama sunroof, sport drive, upgraded stereo, winter comfort package. It had 23k miles. Mileage is within the range published: 16 in the city, 22 highway.
