BMW M550i 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 M550i xDrive rank in its segment?

Among the 15 grand tourers 2019–2023, the M550i xDrive ranks 7th of 15 in 0–100 km/h (3.8 s, behind the BMW M5 CS), 6th of 15 in Top speed (250 km/h, behind the BMW M5 CS), 7th of 15 in Power-to-weight (277 hp/t, behind the BMW M5 CS).

How much does the M550i 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 CS instead?

The BMW M5 CS leads in 0–100 km/h (3.0 s vs 3.8 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the M550i xDrive vs BMW M5 CS 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.
