'07 550i 0-60 time??

[Quinn]

I just posted a small novel in the newbie section, but I thought I'd drop a line here in the 5-series section too. Does anyone have an accurrate 0-60 time for an '07 550i?? This is my first BMW, and I'm very excited. My Dad is an avid Porsche guy, and I'm curious if my sedan will take his tiny Cayman S off the line???

BMW 550i :
0-60 mph - Manual or SMG transmission - 5.4 sec / Automatic Transmission - 5.5 sec

Cayman S :
0-60 mph - Manual - 5.1 sec / Tiptronic - 5.8 sec


Both specs are from the manufacturers' official websites.

0-60 time

Some other guy in the Newbie section just told me it's 5 seconds flat. But if you got it from BMW's site, then I guess it's the final word!

By the way, does anyone have a 550i with an SMG??? I'm curious how the SMG compares to the M version. I know they're different - the SMG's that is.

I have driven the 530i SMG and I liked it.

Hey, welcome to the forum. The BMW 550i is a quick car to 60mph...the Cayman S is quicker on paper but maybe if you raced your dad, it might be pretty even because the BMW's big V8 has more low-end hp and torque.

It's a driver's race - are you better than your Dad? The Cayman's probably got a slight edge, with equal drivers. You might fare better in a highway roll...
