    BMW Unveils 400 HP Quad Turbo M550d xDrive

    BMW has added another M Performance model to it’s -Series lineup to join the petrol-powered M550i xDrive with the M550d xDrive.

    It is available in both sedan and touring body styles and as standard it comes with rear-biased all-wheel drive. Now that the engineers have added another turbo to the 3.0-litre straight six, it becomes the most powerful six cylinder diesel unit in the world (in production car). So to summarize the new Diesel offering from the German manufacturer…

    • New powerplant has an output of 294 kW (395hp) and 760Nm of torque
    • M Performance tuned 8-speed transmission with xDrive
    • 0 to 100km/h takes 4.4 seconds in Sedan form (4.6 in Touring)
    • Both electronically limited to 250km/h
    • BMW quoting an average fuel consumption of 5.9 l/100 km
    • M Sport suspension lowers the body by 10mm
    • Adaptive M Suspension Professional featuring Dynamic Damper Control offered as an option
    • Features M styling treatment

    On a side note, this M550d is just fractionally slower than the outgoing M5 and 0.3 seconds quicker to 100km/h than the older M550d.

    Since the xDrive derivatives of the 5-series are not made for RHD, it is rather unlikely that we will see this in South Africa.
