The BMW 540d (G31) ist the fastest currently available diesel version of the 5 series. It comes with the latest iteration of BMWs well known inline six diesel engine with two turbochargers which result in a power output of 340 HP and 700 Nm of torque in stock – so pretty respectable performance figures.
The new RS6 (C8) is an absolute beauty and as far as we know, for the first time availably also for the US market! It comes with aan 4.0 V8 turbocharged engine with 600 HP and 800 NM of torque.
Since BMW introduced the M badge for their sporty models below the actual M cars, you regularly hear people complain about the fact that non-M cars shouldn’t have the sacred M-letter in their badge, just like it is the case with the facelifted M550i.
