[scans] AutoBild Sportscars - 550i vs S6, E500 & Jag XF 5.0

BMW269 · 07-20-2010, 05:08 AM

BMW 550i: Sport
Mercedes E 500: Comfort

The E500 will be faster than 550i on straight line when it gets its new Biturbo V8 engine and 8-speed automatic gear boxe.

I think that BMW will introduce the peformance upgrade for this engine as they did for the X6! So the upgraded E will not be faster than the upgraded 5

Yes the Benz will be faster than the 550i once the new Biturbo comes out. As for the 550i perf pack I wouldn't expect until 2012 at the earliest.

The Audi S6 is def FASTER than this. I've driven it and would say it's around a 0-60 of 5 sec's- which by the way is right where several mags timed it when it came out in 2007...

Look at how heavy it is, might be part of the problem.

Typical German article, putting the XF last when it's a much better car than the A6 or E Class.
