Is the new S580 better than the S560? Engine on the new 580 seems to be a pretty significant update. Originally Posted by SW17LS

It’s the same engine. Only difference is the 48v system. Originally Posted by Toys4RJill

Apparently the people who own that house are INSANE. They have a big fence up and yell at anybody who even stops in front of the house for a picture. Then they want to go and get $4M for a $350k house because it’s famous lol

LOL...yup. I hear people like to swing by and toss a pizza on the roof, so I get the annoyance, but to use that to try to value it at about 8-12 times the neighboring houses and market it as "special" is kind of interesting... lolOriginally Posted by SW17LS

I wonder why the 48v gets the hate it receives in the BMW community? Originally Posted by SW17LS

I drove a 40i without the 48v and the performance and smoothness was not there compared to the 40i with 48v.
