Anyone Else Notice Revised Gearing For M550 LCI???
Looking through the specs on BMW's website, I noticed the revised first gear ratio for the new (LCI) M550.
Even with the new (revised) engine for MY 2020, BMW retained 2019's 1st gear ratio, which was a 5.0 (which was shared with the M5), and now, for the LCI, it's a 5.5, which is shared with the M850, X5 M50i, etc. This should translate to consistently (and noticeably) faster acceleration times compared to the 2020, even with the identical engine. Sorry if this has been discussed... |
