    Thats 16L/100km :p 50L/100km is around 4 MPG
  2. Fear Deer
    384hp, 3 turbo's, 740nm torque.

    I can always defend myself as ours is a diesel and should not reach such thing as over 50L/100km..i hope :eek:

    I heard the 2.0 20d bmw engine is very economical.

    Oh we couldn't tell, the A6 had Sport suspension, so it was stiff as hell. the M550D has adjustable dampers, and in comfort, its soo smooth next to the A6, so we don't even notice any hardness, so to say :cheeky: Anyways, i'm sure my parents wouldn't want to risk damaging the rims, if they got a flat tyre. Conclusion: Didn't know that one :p
  10. Fear Deer
    Why do you want to get rid of them? :p If we get a flat tire on 20"'s, if its not runflat, there is a lot of danger to the rim :p
  11. Fear Deer
    But we do have runflat tires! They don't sell the 20" rims without runflat tires :( I think the 19"'s (only 2 rims are available for the m550d) have runflats too.

    Car was probably built in september, we picked it up on the 30th of october. Yea i would'nt judge without juicing all the options :lol: We were on the Eco pro route, switched to fast, and it gave exactly the same route...And then the shortcut route, no thanks, our roads are havok to our suspension and rims as they are, and then the alternative routes ya, but imho, the way things are presented, and the way the car navigates...how clear it is...Audi's Sat nav is miles better. No idea bout the current MMI's, but in ours we couldnt upload to the car external routes, but it always gave us clear routes, good roads. iDrive is good, but not as good as the MMI. No idea how it compares to Mercedes' Comando, but google told me its better, but i shall not comment as i have no idea there ^^. But balancing the pro's and cons, i prefer our iDrive rather than our 2004 MMI.

    Well, the 3 of us (father, mother, me) agree that MMI is better than iDrive. iDrive is very good, i like the 4 way navigation, and its visual. Its rather easy to use, and intuitive, specially the phone mode. Split screen on the iDrive is also awesome, but when it comes to sat nav..our MMI was from 2004, but we bought the sat nav 2009 software dvd, to update the maps, it was very straight forward, very clear map, clear indications, and early indications, and in little rural places with few known roads, it would either work well, or simply know when to shut up :p the iDrive is better than the MMI in most things, i did not try a recent MMI though, the professional sat nav has a nice map, nice map views, but the experience of driving with is no where as nice as driving with the MMI's sat nav, its not as clear, sometimes we get placed in nearby roads, when our current road is represented on the map, and the current iDrive software does not have nearly as many roads, including my house's, as the 2009 software for the 2004 MMI had. Also, iDrive does not find fast routes, or shorter routes, as efficiently as the MMI, we get sent through weirdy roads :p They are both, very, very good, and maybe if we had not had the MMI, we would say iDrive is perfect, and it nearly is..but that sat nav disappoints a lot :p But i have learnt that trying to compare brands such as merc, or audi, or bmw, with each other, is not fruitful, as every of them has their ups and downs, we chose the M550D rather than an A7 3.0 BiTDi because we prefer it overall, the ideal would have been a compilation of the best from both ;) BMW's are excellent, so are Audi's and Mercs.

    Our roads dont quite allow flooring it germ :( Eitheir they have traffic, or they are bumpy as hell, bad roads everywhere :( MB, not all bad :P 12L/100km average flooring it :p The consumption and the stereo are the worst things about our car :p (oh and the sat-nav, its bonkers!) Scott, metric system makes much more sense and you know it :evil: P.S. damn germ, stop changing names so ooften!
  15. Fear Deer
    Bloody massive LOL! is that average or instant? xDD Im not talking bout instant consumption! My dad never went past half throttle in the bmw, yet.
  16. Fear Deer
    the M550D emits 165g CO2 per km iirc, yea, i think that maybe, driven for 5 hours, in eco pro, 100km/h average, it can do the 6.6L/100km. Start & Stop is idiotic, causes parts to wear out earlier, its just a way to get the consumption lower, but we turn it off, 'd rather more fuel consumption than stopping the engine and starting it 5 secs later tenths of times per day. But it consumes..a lot, if you put it in Sport, in iDrive (as my dad calls it, motorbike mode), and Sport in the transmission, it can go over 24L/100km :/

    Nonsense, it does not look the same as the M5, not the same exhausts, not the same front bumper. Shares the rims (iirc the M5 also only has 2 rim options, same as M550D), From what i read, the gray detail on the mirrors comes from the M5 too, shares some interior parts with the M5, but is NOT a M5, which is supposed to be a drunk and sporty car 24/7 :P The M550D can also be drunk and slow :lol:, But the 384hp...and the 740nm...they do get you fast, faster :cheeky: Of course the M5 will beat it around corners and straight lines, never questioned that, and i always try to tell people its not a M5, its M550D, M performance line, not M line :) On a short: I Totally agree with you :) M5 is not the M550D! Different cars, for different ends! But BMW's announced consumption of 6.6l/100km in the M550D is a hoax :P In Eco pro, 140km/h highway, couldnt go under 8L/100km, city driving can range from 16-22L/100km

    Implying i have my own money and my parents would allow me to spend theirs on membership privileges in a forum :p

    That engine, despite noisy as hell, will last a life mate :P Enjoy her ;D
  21. Fear Deer
    But thats just how things are meant to be!
  22. Fear Deer
    You are going to buy a picture of bills?
  23. Fear Deer
    Awesome pics! Here where i live..Rarely see anything like that!

    Well yea, thats what some of the M franchise defenders say, but then again, BMW doesn't include this car under the M line in their website, its "a new line" called M Performance line. The M-Sport stuff are part of it, being the M Performance line, therefore its M550D, not only 550D. Has some of the M5 visual parts, not all though, and god..the engine..3 turbo's under the bonnet, its madness :cheeky: (and nope, in the uk and rhd countries, you dont get the m550d because xDrive would be a problem in converting that car to rhd, dunno why, but you do get the X6 M50D and X5 M50D)
  25. Fear Deer
    It is...^^ :drool:
