Overview

The 2019 BMW M550i Sedan makes for an excellent contender in the midsize sedan class. With a single trim on offer, the BMW M550i Sedan has a base MSRP of $74,450 and competes directly with the Maserati Ghibli S, the Lexus GS F, and the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. Only a 4.4L twin-turbocharged V8 engine is offered, mated to an 8-Speed Automatic transmission. Together, they produce 455 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 3.6 seconds, the M550i Sedan maintains a combined fuel economy of 20 MPG. BMW offers the M550i Sedan in 10 stunning colors, with the Rhodonite Silver Metallic being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

Despite being offered as a standalone trim, the 2019 M550i offers a long list of optional packages. Our recommendation is the Parking Assistance Package as it offers many interesting features such as Surround View, Active Park Distance Control, Parking Assistant Plus, etc.
