Complete listing of changes for MY12 with pic FAQ
#41
Close to same price but isn't the XFR a better performer with 510 bhp vs. ~400 for the 550i? I'd view the XFR closer to an M5, but at a better price. The 2012 M5 has more bhp, but although pricing for US isn't out yet, list is about 107k Euros over there. Assuming BMW eats the currency conversion cost, $107k in US dollars is a lot more than an XFR.
The M5 I think will be around $100k well equipped (a lot more than the XFR).
So XFR is faster and more beautiful, 550i has better transmission, more gadgets (HUD, surround cameras, 10.5" HD nav screen) and nicer interior trim options.
This is why I was asking if there is any info on the equipment updates - e.g. 8 Speed and HUD?

Still the 6-speed ZF and no HUD. So far, I believe the 8-speed is only on the not-for-U.S.diesel models.
