Any e60 550i in Singapore?

[darkavgr]

Saw a dark blue e60 labelled 550i on boot with a "V8" on fender above the side indicator light.
Spotted in Novena area....Car registration SGJXXXX
with 523 stock rims, twin exhaust pipes (like stock 523)

Real or fake?

I do not think stock BMW vehicles have any V8 badging for V8-based models. At least BMW 7-series 8-cylinders don't have those badging.

Re: Any e60 550i in Singapore?

I think there are quite a few 545 running around.... Maybe 4......

But if wheels are 523 stock rims and badge is 550, chances are, its a 523......

But I have seen a 525 with 523 stock rims.... and thought, its a 523, why rebadge it??? But I could be wrong.......

0-100km/h timings.

530 - 6.6s
540 - 6.3s
550 - 5.5s


540 almost $1k more for road tax.$30k more than 530?

Didn't know they come in 545s.

The E60 545i was replaced by the 550i.
