2009 BMW 550 Overview
The 2009 BMW 550i is the flagship of the 5 Series, offering scintillating performance, advanced technology, and a variety of sporty touches to tempt luxury sedan buyers.
As a world-class rear-wheel drive sports sedan, the 550i boasts a 4.8-liter, 360-horsepower V-8 engine, which will push you back into your seat and make highway merging an afterthought. True enthusiasts will love the tight action of the standard six-speed manual transmission, while the optional six-speed automatic features Sport and Manual modes with steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters for fingertip shifting. Optional Active Steering is a worthwhile selection, greatly enhancing steering effort, cornering ability, and responsiveness in tight curves or high-speed driving. The 550i gets 15 MPG in the city and 22-23 MPG on the highway.
For even sharper driving dynamics, the optional Sport Package includes 19-inch alloy wheels and tires, 20-way power front seats, a tighter, retuned suspension, and Active Roll Stabilization to prevent potential rollovers during overzealous maneuvers. The optional Cold Weather package includes heated front and rear seats and a retractable headlight washer system. Other major options include the Night Vision system, which uses an infrared camera to see up to 328 yards ahead of the vehicle and display images in the navigation monitor. The optional on-board navigation system uses global positioning to guide you to your destination and features Real-time traffic information to help you avoid delays. The amazing Logic7 audio system features an optional 6-disc CD changer, digital sound processing, and 13 speakers to create pure acoustic realism.
Safety highlights include adaptive brake lights that become larger and brighter to correspond with brake force, reducing the risk of a collision. Active Cruise Control uses a pre-set distance and radar measurements to keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. Dual front airbags, front seat-mounted side airbags, and the Head Protection System protect front and rear seat passengers in a collision. Standard Dynamic Stability Control and Traction control provide additional directional stability and minimize wheel spin during takeoffs.
Catering to virtually every need, the 2009 BMW 550i is a fast, ultra-luxurious package sure to sate the tastes of any luxury performance enthusiast.
