2007 BMW 550 Overview

Introduction

The BMW 550 mixes comfort, performance, high-tech features and passenger-friendly accommodations in a relatively compact package. Yet with Active Steering, Active Roll Stabilization and an available manual transmission, it is more obviously engineered with an emphasis on the driving.

The 550i is powered by a 360-hp 4.8-liter V8 and comes standard with Dakota leather upholstery, ambient interior lighting package, auto-dimming and outside approach lighting, park distance control parking assist and a choice of the manual, SMG or automatic transmission at no charge. Safety features that come standard include front airbags with dual threshold deployment, front-passenger side airbags, and full-cabin curtain-style head-protection airbags. Rear passenger side-impact airbags are optional.

The BMW 550 is largely a carryover from 2006. The only additions are an auxiliary audio input and a tire pressure monitoring system.
