The BMW M550d xDrive, one of the first offering in BMW's new M Performance vehicle lineup is making its world premiere at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show,
together with the X6 M50d. Both vehicles, together with the F11 touring M550d and X5 M50d, will be launched into the market in just a few weeks. The M550d sedan has been receiving rave reviews from the automotive press who have tested the vehicle.

- Displacement: 2,993 cc,
- Output: 280 kW/381 hp at 4,000 – 4,400 rpm,
- Max. torque: 740 Nm (546 lb-ft) at 2,000 – 3 000 rpm
