Same with your M550 vs the M5, I'm sure.

There seems to be plenty of other aftermarket brake pads out there for the M5s and M8s, but no one seems totally happy.
got it, thanks. this surely has to douse my M5 itch, surely.

the more i drive my Kia (it's a fun fling toy with mental sound system but super crashy harsh over bumps) the more i appreciate the luxury of the higher number non full M BMWs. (sold my M340i because of the Kia lol)

hope you get to enjoy many more miles of the 850
