G30 M550i xDrive

So according to the BMW site, the M550i xDrive will have 462hp and can run 0-60 in 4 seconds flat. This makes it quicker than the current M5 thanks to xDrive, an increase in power, and probably lighter weight as well.

I'm really glad BMW decided to step it up on the 550 so it can better compete against the S6, and actually made it distinguishable from the other G30's. Unlike our current F10 550's which you could only tell the difference by looking at the exhaust

So none for the UK, Australia or South Africa

That would really suck, but are you sure BMW would want to miss out on all those markets?

UK and Australia apparently declined the model due to its high cost and probability it would steal M5 market share.

I've been following the progress of the new 5 series very closely as a replacement for my F31 335d. Given that my ultimate model (an AWD M5 Touring) will not exist and the M5 development cars show the option of a deployable towbar (I still want the ability to be able to tow my Caterham to trackdays), I had concluded the following in descending order of preference:

1: M5 - But only if an AWD option is available the UK.
..If not..
2: M550i xDrive Touring – Looks like this isn’t going to be available in the UK though.
..If not..
3:M550d xDrive Touring – I’m hoping this will make it to the UK (perhaps BMW should bring it to the UK in Touring only, especially if the M5 remains RWD & Saloon only as that should put enough distance between them).

Just my hopes and thoughts.

Other colorcombination
These car spec isn't for order, it's from an early 2015 build.
That rimdesign (18" M662) is not available anymore for the M550i.
And note that it has just the normal automatic without paddleshifters and the small navigationsystem.

Man that's a huge difference, I'd expect US pricing to start right around the $70k mark...which would mean about a $20k difference between US and German pricing.

More like $75,000
Its should be about a 9% increase over the F10 550xi

The price is a large part in why many markets wont get it.

Because of the different colour of the kidney grills and thangs in the front bumper.

I was look it that too, but doesn't appear dark enough to be the cerium grey finish of the M550i. It's hard to see, but the mirror caps seems to the the blue exterior color and not the grey finish M performance cars get.

Regular M-Sport front bumper doesn't have the (cerium) thangs, it has led strips.

And the surroundings of the grills and thangs are what I can see cerium grey. Definately not regular chrome.

I do agree that it's hard to tell if the mirrors are cerium grey, but isn't it a no cost option to have mirrorcaps body coloured on M performance models?

Ah, forgot about the LED fogs that normal m-sports have. So you might be right. Don't know if M performance cars can get body colored mirror caps.
