G-Power BMW M550d Goes Official With 435 HP Is the Fastest Diesel Touring

Needless to tell you a special once more what are the 'M' versions of BMW? Perhaps diesel variant are slightly less passionate, but not lost one iota of sportsmanship that characterizes them. With its propeller triturbo six-cylinder that develops 381 hp and 740 Nm of torque, the BMW M550d becomes a special, very special car if we add the fact that it -familiar- Touring variant, and incredible if presents us with a power increase of 54 hp and appearance that has given the preparer G-Power.

Many of you can you say that you conform even with a BMW 530d and the truth, you do not go off track, but bring a mechanical 'M' under the hood always makes you feel special, whether in petrol version and diesel. However, if you find some eager Hipster more horses, more power, more aggressive each acceleration. He will not be able desfogarlos quietly on the asphalt, but wants under his rule. And just to satisfy these customers, G-Power has created this exclusive version of the BMW M550d that raises its power to more than reasonable 435 hp and 850 Nm of torque.

But this preparation is not so special to get a power increase by reprogramming the ECU, but by equipping the module D-Tronik 5 V1. This is an intelligent system configured such that only releases additional energy if it has reached the optimum operating temperature, while in extreme situations, if the oil temperature reaches near maximum values, the output power is reduced. If instead we are in situations of everyday traffic, D-Tronik 5 block is held at rest, offering standard features and power sourcing while the driver runs quietly. If given need that extra power for a moment, we will just step on the accelerator and the system will put at our disposal.

With this system, the BMW M550d G-Power is able to accelerate from 0-100 km / h in just 4.5 seconds the M550d -0.2 standard and 0.2 seconds slower seconds faster than an M5 - and reach a top speed of 300 km / h (if we disable the electronic limiter, of course). Like all good preparation, this extra dose of adrenaline in each acceleration must be accompanied by a good front, for which they have added some cosmetic touches to the car, although subtle, enhance their appearance. Most striking is its dull gray color, accompanied by 21-inch wheels and five double-spoke design "dressed" with tires 255/30 ZR21 front and 295/25 ZR21 rear. In addition, these wheels are made of lightweight aircraft aluminum, which besides sounding pretty good, allowing some of the lightest in its class to consider them.

When compared with rivals like the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG 4MATIC Estate or the Audi RS6, maybe this version 'M' diesel BMW 5 Series Touring is we remain somewhat short of power, but in return offers more torque and, More importantly, a tighter fuel consumption in both the standard version and the G-Power in question in these lines. Then it is a matter of each decides which side tips the balance...
