Sounds brilliant for a diesel. I estimate that was around 4.5secs for 0-100kph. Its fast.
It's strong... :D
The torque is impressive as well as the sound, good job BMW. I hope Audi steps up and shows up what they've learned from LeMans.
Impressive job.
Good sound.
About 18-19 secs 0-200
28-29 secs 0-250
good for diesel!!
Dear Friends,
the first Audi "S" Diesel Model is on track... first official Infos ~2nd Quarter 2012. :cheers:
If the market demand is high = more to come.
Dont forget the base price in Germany for the BMW 550xd is ~20.000,00 Euro higher than the BMW 535xd.

..what about the 2.0l bi-tdi engine? will we see finally on the new a3 and next golv vii? this engine is currently available for amarok pick-up (180hp)and audi has to challenge bmw 125d (biturbo-218hp-450nm)
it's going to be the 3.0 BiTDI with 313 hp in the SQ5
?till today I read only about golf vii GTI 2.0 tfsi developing 230hp and gtd 190hp ( http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/n...k-7-2012-01-30 ),never read about the same amount of power on the tdi.I hope your info it's true,will bring audi over bmw on 2.0 tdi engine
This engine will be the makings of the Q5. The chassis is so capable of coping with more.
Autocar are one of the ones saying the GTD will get 220hp plus they say the GTI will muster 260hp.

Well, that is going to be oponent to current BMW X3 xDrive35d, 3.0 - 313 ps... What will happend when you get that X3 trough Mperformance program!?
Info' that Joker stated is closer to mine, and it has more sense... Currently, in A4 and A6, 2.0 TDI producing 177 hp, and there are roumores that upcoming A3 will be having that same engine with 180 hp!
220-230hp for 2.0 bi-turbo sounds totaly reasoneble to me!
@ Joker & AndyBG: thanks, I hope we will see soon this fab engine.
Yes gtd biturbo 220hp may offset bmw 125d, I guess there will be a 4motion version of it too
Dear Friends,
as far as the "Sound" goes, most of it comes from aid by the Audio System. ;)
"Normal" Sound here:

I can't see the link you posted...
Yes, you have right, I rememberd that M550d has that engine sound trough souns sistem...
Now I saw the link... It doesn't have sound, like every other diesel! :D
Here is the explanation how it works...!

a6 3.0 tdi 313hp has Sound Activator too...
Can someone explain how that works?
Chris Harris test M550dx

So, what, you hear some imaginary engine sound from the speakers?
real sound, augmented
here links active sound design

here today article on AMS about the system on audi
http://www.firmenauto.de/sound-desig...en-509168.html
Wow. I'm not sure if that is genious or really really silly and stupid.
In every UK mag you look the M550dx is be tested which is really dumb on BMW's part, testing a car which we won't be even offered here. Talk about sticking two fingers up at their British customers.
@ 1:12 0-100 km/h...2nd gear is furious!

Take the time to open two YouTube pages and load one with this A6 video and the other with the M550d and then synchronize both so they are both start accelerating from 100km/h and you'll be surprised just how close the Audi is to the mighty Tri-turbo Beemer.
Am I the only one that thinks that the sound in the video is very "artificial"? Really sounds like the engine sound comes purely from the speakers...
Based on this test the M550d xDrive isn't as quick as people thought on this forum. Definitely looks to be not as quick as the 550i.

Haven't seen the bi-turbo compared to the M550d in a single test yet but looking at one test of the Avant bi-turbo and it was only a couple of tenths slower in most acceleration categories even though it is down 70 horsepower.
Here is a test that shows that the A6 Biturbo is way quicker than the 265 hp Mercedes diesel. I don't see the same difference between the 381 horsepower BMW and the 313 horsepower A6.
