Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for
Demanding drivers: 5th of 15 in Top speed (250 km/h). 5th of 15 in Top speed (250 km/h).
Less suitable for
Frequent urban trips with stop-and-go. At 10,1 L/100 km on the combined cycle, consumption rises in the city without electric assistance. An HEV or PHEV would be more economical for this use profile.
Alternatives to consider
If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the Bmw M5 CS (1st with 3.0 s) takes the lead. If the priority is Top speed, the Audi RS6 Performance Avant (1st with 305 km/h) takes the lead.
Acceleration: 3.8 s 0-100 (7th of 15 in 0–100 km/h)
In pure acceleration, the M550i xDrive ranks 7th of 15 in 0–100 km/h, 0.8 s off the reference Bmw M5 CS (3.0 s).
Top speed: 250 km/h (5th of 15 in Top speed)
Top speed of 250 km/h. The segment reference reaches 305 km/h.

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