    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.

    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.

    So is the SQ5 TDI the proposal by Audi vs M50d series engine?

    ^I wonder how a tri-turbo setup would work in a Vee configuration?
