I've got an idea, seeing as M6 Toll traffic has fallen by 10.7% in the last year. Why not make it an autobahn type thing and have no general speed limit on there?? Make some money out of that wont they!?! And we can finally use our cars to their potential with out losing our licenses.

No doubt the Plod will use my taxes to buy them, then crash them whilst "testing"

at last good looking cars with some POWER this is what we want

Nice car about time they came up with a big 5.5d

Love the technology. Can't afford it. When will someone produce a sports/performance car for the masses? Drive an older Mercedes 500SEL but find German manufacturers now even more so live on another planet - planet Euro!

Just thought id mention the reason UK prices for the 550D haven't been announced yet is because the car isn't coming to the UK... not allowed to post hyper links but go to pistonheads/news

Very impressive technology, but why waste it in the X series? The M550d appears highly desirable, but will it ever be possible to legally, or prudently, use its ultimate performance?
Triple turbocharging for supreme torque yet high efficiency could be the next thing for 'ordinary' diesel cars. How about a 150 bhp one litre returning 60+ mpg? That could be used in the U.K.

£60,325?! What are they thinking?

Thought that BMW had denied that there was to be a diesel M. So yet more bits to go wrong/bang which at BM's prices would make it cheaper to buy another car! and yes I have a Beemer on its third variable cam setup due to crap design.

"Ethelred" as long as it's still under warranty. If not get shut quick. People will keep buying cars based on reviews. Best thing to do is wait a a couple of years until they fix the flaws in the design then buy. I wouldn't buy a german car these day's too expensive and the warranties are too short.

not totally correct has i have made a pre-order of one from bmw so its a import
27/01/2012 16:49
I would sooner have the new Volvo V60 Hybrid with similar performance but 150mpg potential.
27/01/2012 15:11
Don't deserve to have M in there name.

I agree with david Baker,this car is a waste of time and money,it would be almost impossible to use more than a fraction of the power on our roads,i would rather have a 1 litre petrol car where i can use all the available power a lot of the time.
