is to the moment when BMW is about to officially launch the new generation M5, the harder it is to decide whether to wait? No matter what decision you make, I believe that every buyer who requires precision will worry about the decision you make and may regret it at that time! I want to have a good time first, and the general agent introduced a high-performance RV equipped with xDrive four-wheel drive and is also a V8-powered high-performance RV-M550i xDrive, of course! Not within this limit.
M550i xDrive and M760Li xDrive also use matte cerium-plated material (Cerium Grey) as the exclusive partition for MPA models. The front pole air intake dam, double kidney-type water tank guard frame, rearview mirror cover, side air guide holes (Air Breathers), model nameplate, etc. can be seen. There will be completely different colors under different light angles.
power comes from the V8 twin-turbocharged engine tuned by N63 4.4-liter BMW M Performance, which is modified by the S63 engine from the F10 M5. It has a maximum power output of 462hp/650Nm. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 4.0 seconds, just as fast as the facelifted M3/M4! Among all BMW cars currently available, only the M760Li xDrive, M4 CS and M4 GTS are lost.
After the next generation M5 is also determined to be V8 turbocharged power and also WD, it is even worse and it is difficult to make a decision! After launching its first V8 gasoline-powered MPA (M Performance Automobiles) model - M550i xDrive, many people think this is a performance car that surpasses the current F10 M5! But after this test drive, I personally think this statement is not completely correct. It is certain in some data; but there is still a gap in the fun of driving.
Of course, this must depend on what kind of performance it is, and it is fun for you! It is a pleasure to drive terriblely and quickly with your heartbeat; it is also a pleasure to drive steadily and comfortably! The length, width, height and wheelbase of
M550i xDrive are similar to those of the F10 M5. Although it is equipped with a 4WD system, it adopts the new generation of lightweight body structure, and the weight is actually 60kg lighter than the F10 M5.
If you want not only a simple back touch, but a kind of G-force that presses on you! That may be possible for the F10 M5, but I mean the acceleration power of 100km/h. Although the G30 M550i xDrive is nearly 100 less horsepower than the rear-drive F10 M5, 4WD alone can make it grab the ground. 0-100 achieves the "data" advantage of 0.4 seconds faster than the F10 M5. The actual feeling is hard to feel that there is a difference except for the moment of starting. However, the actual somatic acceleration after 100km/h is still not as good as the F10 M5, especially after 6000rpm, the M550i xDrive cannot be as full as the rear force of the F10 M5, and this is the biggest difference between M Power and MPA models!
acceleration force will slide significantly after 6000 revolutions. As shown in the power curve, it is exactly the end point of the maximum horsepower.
If you want a stable rear of the car, occasionally "tempo" requires a comfortable and easy driving feeling to run between the two places. Of course, M550i xDrive should be better than M5. At least compared with F10 M5, this is the case! According to previous experience, the 560hp/680Nm pure rear-wheel drive F10 M5 feels obviously terrifying when driving, because the 2964mm wheelbase is matched with a weight of 1870kg, so you must be very careful; in comparison, the performance of the M550i xDrive on mountain roads is incalculable, but the lower driving difficulty is more suitable than the F10 M5.
M550i xDrive is a middle-class model between the general five series and the regular M Power model. Due to the product positioning, some powerful weapons exclusive to M Power cannot be equipped with the M550i xDrive. First, the cost issue cannot make it too high for it; second, if it is used, the new generation of M5 that uses the xDrive four-wheel drive system will not need to be sold.
In addition to power output, the M550i xDrive certainly does not have the ability of the M Power series to apply more torque output to the outer rear wheels alone. It is difficult to combine the large power of 462hp/650Nm with the driving pleasure. Without this ultimate weapon, there will definitely be obvious differences in cornering reactions.The only xDrive models with configurations introduced in China are X6, X6 M and X5 M.
can reduce the height of the car by 10mm to the standard equipment of the M550i xDrive. If the electronic suspension is equipped, the Adaptive Mode button will be added next to the gear lever. The changes in suspension using this mode, together with the gearbox, steering and throttle reactions, will be automatically adjusted in time according to driving habits, and can also be optimized and automatically adjusted in combination with navigation information and real-time traffic conditions.
M550i xDrive's four-wheel drive steering is neutral. If you are used to the BMW rear-drive method, the accelerator and steering wheel can be almost synchronized, you must be more conservative first! After turning the steering wheel first to make the body turn dynamics, the throttle will be smoother.
For general curves (for example: highway interchanges, curves with corners above 90 degrees will be too large), the M550i xDrive will certainly maintain the superb corner fun that BMW has always had! Only for 180-degree revolving corners, especially hair clamping bends like Beiyi Highway, which have extremely obvious height and low drops, is not the M550i xDrive's strength.
When passing this corner, of course, it is difficult to turn with the accelerator in it. All cars are similar. However, once you go out of the corner, you can step on the accelerator, the M550i xDrive can almost be said to have a torque output of 0 and 1. It is an indispensable advantage to deal with most driving conditions, but it is a "bottleneck" to deal with the above special situations, and it is easy to push the head! Especially in this kind of hair clip bend that cannot produce faster speeds, and the effect of brake inner wheel assist is not very easy to exert, you can only let go of the accelerator and make the steering wheel almost turn straight, so that you can feel at ease with the big foot throttle. The four-wheel drive system equipped with
M550i xDrive is no different from other xDrive models. It can judge the front and rear driving ratio based on the rudder angle, throttle depth, and wheel speed, but it lacks the vertical/lateral G-value signals to participate in the execution. This is a strong design that only the M5 level has. Therefore, the performance of the M550i xDrive in handling performance is only a neutral performance.
BMW's xDrive system claims to be able to send power to the front or rear axle almost 100%, but this is only applicable to low-friction road environments, and will send more power to the unslipped side according to the situation. If you want to control and control it too fiercely on a dry road in good condition, although it is indeed a rear-wheel drive distribution, it will not have a large proportion, that is, it will not have the characteristics of the BMW signature rear-wheel drive model with accelerator with bends.
I think, whether it is the G30 M550i xDrive or the F10 M5, they are not suitable for driving the mountain road with long wheelbases. The former is not passionate enough to turn; the latter is too overdoing. As for whether to wait to buy the new generation M5 with the M xDrive four-wheel drive system for the first time, we can only say predictably first. It must be that it combines the advantages of these two cars and has a greater power output. I believe that prospective buyers will have a precise measurement ruler in their minds. In the end, they must pursue the ultimate driving pleasure, or they must be careful about the money they have to pay, and when the latter is absolutely considering the M550i xDrive, fortunately, there is still a way to unravel the shortcomings of the M550i xDrive mentioned earlier!
BMW has specially added an exclusive option for M550i: the rear wheel steering system will definitely improve the steering response significantly, and this option requires an additional price of 261,000 yuan. Total, it is definitely more cost-effective than buying the M5! If you want to vote, individual vote for M550i xDrive! Because the temptation of CP value is always irresistible! The rear wheel steering system provided by
BMW has specially set a low 60km/h action boundary. It will definitely be of great help to increase flexibility. The aluminum alloy plaid decorative panel is equipped with a very good texture! It seems that there is no need to spend money on other trim panels! In addition to the driving mode that can be set according to personal preferences, the smart safety system also has personalized setting functions. It is equipped with an harman/kardon audio with output power of 600 watts and 16 speakers, and also has the self-setting function of the equalizer. Eight photography lenses can provide complete imaging and can also be monitored at any time through the mobile app.The front wheel is also equipped with a four-piston brake system from M Power, which is generally OK, but it also has the disadvantage of being prone to heat exhaustion when driving fiercely. The first thing you do after pulling a car is recommended to upgrade and modify it first!
