well I finally bought a BMW as a family vehicle....
To be honest I love German engineering Hence the fact that I currently drive Vw GTI K04 conversion... well I said lets try BMW out... Never owned one before so I went in an ordered The 2011 550i....
similar to pic
same options and colour
was thinking of getting this but I am not ready for a wagon as yet....
here is my specs
Inner beauty efficiently celebrated.
BMW TwinPower Turbo V8 engine in the BMW 550i.
Ability: with the 8-cylinder petrol engine in the BMW 550i you can exploit 300 kW or simply enjoy an impressive 600 Nm of Torque from 1,750 rpm. So what is the secret of the effortless short bursts?
It is the turbochargers in the V between the cylinders. The special, compact design shortens exhaust paths to provide direct responsiveness. The 5.0 seconds in which the BMW 550i accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h are as impressive as the engine's ability to turn any touch of the accelerator into immediate acceleration at any time.
When it comes to utilising energy efficiently, the BMW 5 Series Sedan holds the key: precision. With each combustion process, the piezo injectors pump fuel into the combustion chambers at 200 bar with 400 Nm of pure power being delivered to the crankshaft. It's incredible how so little fuel can manifest itself into so much power.
Now you can accelerate at any time and never have to worry about high levels of fuel consumption.
