This is my second 50i my first being a 2012. That said, I did have an option of going to a X5M but frankly the difference in price vs. the 50i could not be justified in my opinion. True, you can get a better handling package out of a X5M and more horses also, but in my world, tenths of a second don't mean that much as well as seeing how many g's I can get this vehicle too. If I wanted a killer handling vehicle with horses, I probably wouldn't get a 50i 0r an X5M. To each his own, but I really like the power and response out of the vehicle and who knows, if I want more power, there are plenty of "chip" companies I can choose from, but like any other high performance vehicle, you need a warranty once you past the factory one!
