Me too. And since BMW has developed a tri-turbo diesel powerplant, I am sure it must be based on a gasoline power tri-turbo! And what model would have THAT engine! Hint: F80 M3!!! I think this is very telling of the direction BMW has chosen for the next M3/M4. |

It's ridiculious to put an M badge on non M-car, just because it has as much torque as m5
M car is not only about hp and tq numbers it's much more!!!!! |

This engine is a masterpiece and has much better numbers than its rivals' v8 diesels
For sure will not be diesel M versions, but this is one of the most powerful diesel engines available in this moment (Audi's v12 TDI is the most powerful, but is also very heavy). |

I don't get it, why call this car a 550d when in fact its a six cylinder, my guess is so they can charge more the higher the number the more you pay. My guess is that diesel engine is going in the 7 series eventually.

What if the car has the M suspension components from the M5? Which would make it very similar to the E28 M535i?

so its very powerful with the torque rivaling V8s and much more efficient, i see no problem here. sounds good.
P.S. it does seem the M badge gets thrown around a little much these days.

Maybe. They have done it before like mentioned below.

That's the rumor I remember reading about somewhere before. It would supposedly be a best of all worlds car with the handling of an M5, all weather capability of AWD, and the torque/mileage of the new diesel. It would certainly blur the lines of ///M and the standard 5.

An example is that the E90 328i & 335i both have 3.0 liter engines. |

And thanks to Active Sound Design, they'll make it sound like a gas V8.

E28 M535is indeed existed in the European market. It wasn't an M car but it had an M badge on it. I can't believe how many of you here are so narrow-minded and ignorant |
