I’m an M550 owner but been lurking and commenting here because eventually I’d like to move into an M850GC.
My M550 has 19” wheels. Love them. Lots of potholes here in West TN and I haven’t had any issues besides one bubbled tire.
I currently have a 2024 840i GC loaner for a week or so while my expansion tank is replaced (common on the N63TU3, at least on the 5’s). This 8 has 20” wheels. I will say I’ve been really impressed and surprised by how good the ride is. A few spots have caused it to crash down a little harder but over 95% of the bumps and small potholes it has been really comfortable and smooth. I’d buy the W&T if I got 20’s but after driving this car, I wouldn’t avoid them for fears of less comfort or compromised ride quality.
So there’s my $0.02. These cars are fantastic. I gotta get one sooner or later, and I think I will. The M550 is fantastic too. Just different cars. Depends on what you want.
