3,5's, a 7 and a couple of 6's. 650 had a 4.8 V8 around 400 hp. Ride great but maintenance cost are unbelievable. Reason I came back to a Camaro.
Totally happy.

I like BMW's as well...wife still has one: 2011 X3
I bought a 1995 E36 M3 brand new...Cosmos Black, champagne, M-contour...great car.
I needed something to drive while I finished a 70 BB Chevelle.
Then, the LSX cars started coming out...
However, I can't say a well maintained 2008 to 2010, 550I with a manual would not be super nice for a week-end car.
But, the V8 valve guide seals, coolant cross-over tubes, electric water pumps, rod bearing issues, assorted pcm / bcm gremlins, wiring harnesses, radiators...
I went back / stayed GM as well...2010 2SS w/ M6
I looked at:
335's
550's
E90 M3
E92 M3
C6 Vette
5th Gen Camaro
I don't think you could go wrong with any of the above so: Congrats!!!
