Scott - Is this car what the "x-drive M5" really is? Or is this car in addition to the x-drive variant of the F10 M5?

what's wrong with an M5d? hope they don't use the M550d, 550dM or the 550dXM.. that's will just look stupid. why not a 560 hp M5d... why complicate things, keep it simple and clean. NO M BADGES ON REGULAR MODELS!!! I wont mind seeing a "d" next to an M5 badge but an M next to a 550d badge now that's M whoring!!

I'm counting the minutes until it comes up. Counting the minutes.
My dad has an 06 carerra convertible.. started house sitting for him this summer (actually just don't have a place while home from college ha) and he didn't drive that for some reason.. I've made it my own over the past month or two and although it pains me to openly admit this, it's almost made me forget about the Bimmer.. I either need to finally step up from the 328 or get a god damn porsche. It's overwhelming how fun that Porsche is. And its only the entry 911 Now I just need to convince the pops to get the 991 the day it hits dealers so I can actually drive it before I buy a 10 year old used one

I have mixed feelings about this with regard to "whoring" out the Bmw brand, but I would rather have this than a 550. Gas mileage FTW and m type handling...awesome.

Scott 26 - From memory you previously confirmed that this motor will debut with the LCI- X6- March 2012?
X6- 5.0d? approx. 360 bhp- or would the M division have their own version of the triple turbo diesel? Thank you.. |

Got'a love those diesels. Assuming 500HP, at 3900 RPM, that is 673 ft/lbs of torque minimum, probably more. if at 4200 RPM the figure drops to 625 ft/lbs minimum. Assuming 550 HP at 3900 RPM then torque is a mininum of 740. These are just the torque numbers at peak horse power. They usually make more torque at lower RPMs. Got to love that torque

From what I´ve heard from my sources we are looking at aprox. 380-395 BHP and a wopping 750NM
This is going to be one very interesting car for the european market where diesel plays an important role. Don´t expect this car to come to the US |

However, i will never buy another petrol car. Test drove a Porsche Cayman about a month ago and felt it was slow. Got back into my 320d which has 50% more torque and 80 less BHP than the Cayman and it felt like a rocket. |

In my country that triturbodiesel M550d would cost the same as a 550i or even more, where is the benefit in saving/mpg, THE argument for buying a dieselcar in the first place imo. Better save a bit more money for a F10 M5.
Let's see what the specs will be, I'd say 420-450BHP but never 500+.... |

Unleaded Regular $7.97 (average) Diesel $7.26 (average) considering how much further you can usually travel on a tank of diesel as opposed to gas the price diff/premium in the states is marginal at best Don't be a snob, I don't hear anyone in the mercedes community up in arms about the fact that they manufacture garbage trucks, and buses. Does that make the SLS any less of a car? |

It would also be a great cruiser and much more fuel efficient than a gas/petrol equivalent car. Don't forget about that. Sporty diesels are relatively new to the market. For the M division to even seriously consider a diesel there has to be all sorts of wizardry involved which translates to high costs. |
