Frequently asked questions

BMW M550d xDrive: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Where does the M550d xDrive rank in its segment?#

Among the 31 grand tourers 2016–2020, the M550d xDrive ranks 6th of 31 in 0–100 km/h (4.4 s, behind the Bmw M5 Competition), 12th of 31 in Top speed (250 km/h, behind the Bmw 540i xDrive), 6th of 31 in Power-to-weight (217 hp/t, behind the Bmw M5 Competition).

How much does the M550d xDrive cost to run?#

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

Why not a Bmw M5 Competition instead?#

The Bmw M5 Competition leads in 0–100 km/h (3.3 s vs 4.4 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the M550d xDrive vs Bmw M5 Competition duel for a detailed comparison.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?#

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.
