    Sounds brilliant for a diesel. I estimate that was around 4.5secs for 0-100kph. Its fast.

    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.

    Endurance. Something a triturbo setup might have problems with )

    Nevertheless, impressive job BMW!

    Dear Friends,

    the first Audi "S" Diesel Model is on track... first official Infos ~2nd Quarter 2012.

    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.

    That's a fab news from audi and waiting time is not so high.

    Can you tell us if it's a biturbo,triturbo or another engine-strategy?

    Very interesting... Looking forward to this. And I hope Audi works out an "easier" engine with say a biturbo strategy instead of this (It works bloody brilliant now, but how's the durability in 5 years?) rather complicated engine.

    +1. The tech in the M550dx sounds seriously complexed, I'm sure they had their reasons for going this route but has this been at the expense of durability.

    could be a better result if the driver put the gear @ 4.400rpm instead over 5.000

    I thought exceptional would be a more suitable word to use.
