Buddies, Update came in from the BMW dealer in Delhi, that BMW has made changes to the engine of the 520 BMW. There is an engine change. It gets engine upgrade from X series BMW fleet which marginally now increases it's performance figures like torque and power.

Friends,

Spotted this BMW 5 Series which had a m550 badge on it with a Xdrive at DND today. I understand that M is the performance tuning mods platform by BMW like AMG of Benz but whats this 550? I know that there is a model 530 in 5 series but first time saw 550D model, can someone share some valuable inputs on this please.

^ Seen many such aftermarket rebadged cars with AMG, Brabus, Alpina, M sport etc.

Its a 520d that's all! Rims & single sided exhaust are dead giveaways.

There are some tastefully done cars which have M5 kits which look more convincing that this! [:)]
