I know it will be released by July 2024. It will have around 565 hp.
But, I'm not sure about the 0-60 number. Is it quicker than the i5 M60?
Cheaper or more expensive?

I don't know if I should get the current generation of M550 or wait for the M560e!
I honestly love the current generation design of the 5 Series.

the M760e is out in case you want some more info, but yea the M560e has some time to go. Also not sure if they will really make an 550e and also an M560e? seems to similar.

I have my eye on this one too. Probably going to buy my 2021 M550 when the lease ends in October so I have time to wait and assess.

I’d definetly would buy out the 2021 M550i. It looks so much better than the G60.

Agree
Persia key think it’s the better choice however it keeps your option open. You could try the g60 and if to your liking with used prices still high, you’ll still get a decent amount for the 550 and if you still prefer the 550, then you are good to go

I think that’s exactly what I’m going to do. It’s got 36K miles so if I keep it too long I’d need to get into an extended warranty.

I’m somewhat tempted by the looks of the Cadillac CT5-V, but I’m very reluctant to go there because not only have I had a great experience with BMW and forged a great relationship with my dealer and service department, but my last round of Cadillac ownership was an unmitigated disaster. Before my prior car, a 2018 540, I had a 2014 CTS, which was bought back because the engine shook. They put me in a 2016 CTS, which was an electronic nightmare. They flew an engineer in from Detroit to try to fix it and he rendered it non-functioning (everything would reboot every 10-15 seconds until the CUE screen would go black and not come back on until the car went to sleep). That one was replaced by a 2017 which, despite assurances the new system was better, started to do the same thing and they quickly agreed to terminate the lease and I went to BMW. Cadillac was great about it…but spending all my time trying to make the car (which was beautiful) work was not the hobby I was looking for. My BMWs have been pretty much entirely trouble-free.

I'm looking at this too...b58 vs n63...rather not take a 50/50 chance on engine issues with n63 so I'm gonna go with the 560e

For comparison AutotopNL tested both the i7 M60 and separately the M760e. While he wasn’t thrilled with the i7, he really enjoyed the M760e. If we get the M560e, it should be similarly good.
