BMW M550d xDrive 0-250 km/h Test

Ever since BMW announced its tri-turbo performance diesel, everybody wanted to go beyond the on-paper specs and see how the engine feels in the real world. The adjacent video allows us to see just that, with the clip showing us a BMW M550d xDrive sedan being driven from standstill to top speed by Sport Auto.
The vehicle needs 4.7 seconds to go past the 62 mph mark and offers a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h). As for what happens in between these values, we’re invitng you to click the “play” button above.

We’ll remind you that the speedometer’s needle rides on 381 hp (between 4,000 and 4,400 rpm) and 740 Nm (546 lb-ft) of torque, which arrive between 2,000 and 3,000, with the redline sitting at 5,400 rpm.
