Frequently asked questions
BMW 540d xDrive: what you need to know
Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.
Among the 31 grand tourers 2016–2020, the 540d xDrive ranks 18th of 31 in 0–100 km/h (4.9 s, behind the Bmw M5 Competition), 19th of 31 in Top speed (250 km/h, behind the Bmw 540i xDrive), 28th of 31 in Power-to-weight (173 hp/t, behind the Bmw M5 Competition).
Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.
The Bmw M5 Competition leads in 0–100 km/h (3.3 s vs 4.9 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the 540d xDrive vs Bmw M5 Competition duel for a detailed comparison.
Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
