I just test drove the R Spec yesterday. I have had a BMW 535 and this blows it away. As good or better than the 550i. To get the same equipment in the 550i would bring that beemer to well over 70,000. AWESOME CAR. Hope to get this one this week.

I agree, I drove the new 550....a bit more balance but the acceleration on the R-spec was at least as good, and yes, $22K less.

I went in to buy one yesterday....had the true car figure (almost $3K off) but they would not honor it.

I ended up getting and Equus instead.

Congratulations! The Equus is a superlative car.

Cheers

Ah yes, superlative is the perfect description.

Picked up the 5.0 R spec last Saturday -

great car

Traded in an E60 ///M5 for it

and you know what -

The R Spec rides better - smoother - with a more enjoyable - yet gradual power surge through the gears.

handling is just fine by me

pound for pound - BMW can't touch this car
the F10 550i is WAY over priced compared to the R Spec

Great car - in every way

I am loving mine!!! Totally aimed at BMW 5 series Domination. Drove BMW's of all types for years and can say the taught suspensions and quicker damping equal the BMW's. This Rspec is a real "sports sedan" in Rspec trim. BMW still owns the 'feedback through steering wheel' honors, but if I was blind folded and behind the wheel of each.......could I tell a difference just on steering alone?

I can certainly claim quality fit & finish with all options for at least $22k less. I know there are thicker windows and more options on the BMW, but there is also a major increase in service downtime and additional costs. Clearly, Hyundai has the Germans & and the Japanese on their heels.

WTG HYUNDAI!
