HOT!!! NEW 2018 BMW M550i xDrive SEDAN. M Performance models slide between the M Sport packages available on models such as the 340i and 540i and all-out M cars like the M3 and M5. This portfolio of vehicles began in 2012 and now includes seven models in the U.S. market, from the M240i coupe to the M760i.
With the all-new M5 still a year away, this is as hot as the new 5-series gets right now—and it’s already on sale. Base price is $73,095, which makes it a performance bargain in the hot-rod luxury-sedan class. The Mercedes-AMG E63 and the Audi RS7 are far more powerful and also use all-wheel drive, but both wear six-figure prices. The all-wheel-drive Mercedes-AMG E43 costs about the same as this M550i, but its twin-turbocharged V-6 is weak by comparison.
This is also the only V-8–powered 5-series sedan currently available. Under the hood is basically the same aluminum-block V-8 that powered the previous-generation F10 550i. Like that engine, the M550i’s has two twin-scroll turbochargers, direct injection, Valvetronic variable intake-valve lift, and Double VANOS variable intake- and exhaust-timing control. Power, however, has been increased by 11 horses, from 445 horsepower to 456 at 6000 rpm. The peak torque rating, 480 lb-ft at just 1800 rpm, remains the same.
