5 reasons to buy the 2023 BMW M550

1. Spacious cabin 

Great ride experience is one of the strongest suits of the 2023 BMW M550. That’s in large part thanks to the spacious cabin and the amenities in it. It has seating for up to five people with enough head- and legroom even for taller adult passengers to feel comfortable. Front passengers get 38.8 inches and 41.4 inches of headroom and legroom, respectively. Rear headroom measures 37.5 inches, with legroom for rear passengers measuring 36.5 inches. 

2. Muscular engine 

The 2023 BMW M550 is powered by a ferocious 523-hp, 4.4L eight-cylinder engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain makes the M550 one of the strongest luxury sedans out there, capable of delivering thrilling performance. It can go from zero to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds, with a top speed of 155 mph. 

3. Abundant room for cargo 

On the practical side of things, the 2023 BMW M550 offers ample cargo space and useful storage options inside the cabin. It comes with an 18.7-cu-ft trunk, which is larger than that of many competitors and gives you room for one large suitcase. On top of that, it has 40/20/40 split rear seats, making it easier for you to carry large items that can’t fit in the trunk. 

4. Standard tech features 

As far as technology is concerned, the 2023 BMW M550 is equipped with plenty of connectivity and entertainment features that come as standard. The infotainment system includes a 12.3-inch center display that you can use to access Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Furthermore, it comes with built-in navigation, a 12-speaker audio system, as well as Bluetooth® connectivity. 

5. Driver-assistance systems 

The 2023 BMW M550 is also equipped with many sophisticated systems that will give you more confidence behind the wheel and help stay alert at all times. For starters, these include forward-collision warning and forward automatic emergency braking systems. On top of that, it comes with lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and pedestrian detection.
