00:37:11 ◼   ► heavier car of course but it is an [TS]

00:37:13 ◼   ► amazing car and it has way more luxury [TS]

00:38:08 ◼   ► sensible car mostly for my purposes [TS]

00:38:11 ◼   ► because it's all-wheel drive and as we [TS]

00:38:13 ◼   ► talked about before I like I'll Drive a [TS]

00:38:37 ◼   ► more more communicative you know you [TS]

00:38:39 ◼   ► feel more of the road feel with the [TS]

00:38:41 ◼   ► hydraulic system in the m5 vs the [TS]

00:38:42 ◼   ► electric power system and in the [TS]

00:38:44 ◼   ► 5-series all these things that people [TS]

00:38:47 ◼   ► cited as major things they weren't that [TS]

00:38:50 ◼   ► major when i was driving it wasn't that [TS]

00:38:52 ◼   ► big of a difference it was a noticeable [TS]

00:38:53 ◼   ► difference but it wasn't as big as I [TS]

00:39:35 ◼   ► car to like so and so I thought you know [TS]

00:39:37 ◼   ► what is it really worth the loss of [TS]

00:39:40 ◼   ► all-wheel drive to go at the m5 and [TS]

00:39:42 ◼   ► communicate you know pay more to but is [TS]

00:40:18 ◼   ► that's there even though the 550 is a [TS]

00:40:21 ◼   ► fantastic car the difference to the m5 [TS]
