Please define special...! Because I can't see what should be special but I do not appreciate 22" wheels, spoilers that touch the ground etc...

I cant define special i am not the designer only the customer. Where did I mention 22" wheels or daft spoilers?

I was just hoping it had a wow factor, looks like all they had done is stick a big engine in a bog stanard car. I would still buy one though

Is this car coming to the USA? The article says this engine can fit in a 3er. Hopefully that won't mess up the weight distribution!

Sorry, but according to my info BMW NA has no plans to import M550d...

Very strange, the Swedish market for these kind of luxury cars is nothing compared to the British but in Sweden we get M550d in April. I don't understand the logic...if there is one?
