'13 BMW M550d xDrive 0-250 km/h

Wow. I'm not sure if that is genious or really really silly and stupid.

That is just my opinion of course, if I had a nice car I want to hear it roar and breathe naturally not through the sound sistem...everyday I like old cars more and more...

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.

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.

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.

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...

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

That's on VAG to resolve...
