Detailed analysis of the BMW M550d xDrive Touring · 400 CV (2019-2020)
General description
The BMW M550d xDrive Touring is the embodiment of an almost extinct idea: the high-performance diesel family sedan. It is a vehicle that defies conventions, offering in the same package the versatility of a station wagon and the raw power of a sports car, a wolf in sheep's clothing that roars with a one-of-a-kind diesel heart.
Driving experience
Driving it is an overwhelming experience. The response of the six-cylinder, quad-turbo engine is instantaneous and brutal, with 760 Nm of torque that mercilessly pins you to the seat. The 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 4.6 seconds is typical of a supercar, but with the composure and poise conferred by the xDrive all-wheel drive. It is a machine for devouring kilometers, a surface-to-surface missile that travels in superb silence and comfort.
Design and aesthetics
Its aesthetic is an exercise in perfect balance. It maintains the elegance and functionality of a 5 Series Touring, but the M Performance details betray its true potential without being flashy. It doesn't shout, it hints. It is a design for the connoisseur, for those who appreciate the sophistication of an elite athlete in a bespoke suit, combining the practicality of its large trunk with an imposing and sporty presence.
Technology and features
Under the hood lies a work of engineering art: a diesel engine with four turbochargers working in sequence to deliver colossal power throughout the entire rev range. This mechanical feat is complemented by the intelligent xDrive all-wheel drive, a perfectly tuned 8-speed automatic transmission, and an adaptive chassis that allows it to be as comfortable as a luxury car and as agile as a sports car.
Competition
In the exclusive club of high-performance diesel station wagons, its most direct and natural rival is the Audi S6 Avant TDI. Both share a similar philosophy, combining a powerful diesel engine with all-wheel drive and a station wagon body. The battle between them is a clash of titans, where the choice often comes down to a preference for BMW's purer driving feel or Audi's technological and design approach.
Conclusion
The BMW M550d xDrive Touring is more than a car; it is a statement of intent and, probably, the swan song of the great sporty diesel engines. It represents a unique combination of performance, efficiency for its power, and versatility that we are unlikely to see again. It is the ultimate vehicle for those who need space but refuse to give up the thrill of driving.
