What year was the first BMW 550i?

I’m looking for a used luxury car and I’ve always really wanted a BMW to add to my collection. I’ve landed on the 5 Series but I’m not sure which one to get. What year was the first BMW 550i?

The first
BMW 550i
was released in 2009 as part of the fifth generation of the BMW 5 Series. If you’re looking for superior performance, then the BMW 5 Series is right up your alley!
The 2009 BMW 550i is a midsize luxury sedan that comes equipped with a vigorous 4.8L 32-valve V8 engine that roars with 360 horsepower and 360 lb-ft of torque. This bad boy can even soar from zero to 60 mph in just 5.4 seconds!
Buyers may choose from a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. The sports sedan also offers plenty of standard safety features like an anti-lock braking system, daytime running lights, stability control, and tire pressure monitoring. And as a luxury car, expect many luxury details like a leather-wrapped steering wheel as well as leather and wood trim on the center console.
Regardless if you decide to purchase a newer BMW or a used one like the 2009 BMW 550i,
