BMW X6 M50d: Performance & economy revealed

BMW X6 M50d: Performance & Economy figures revealed With the BMW X6 M50d confirmed as on its way, we now get news on its performance and economy. We’ve been reporting the likelihood that BMW will drop their new three stage turbo diesel in to the X6 for a long time now, and that’s a racing certainty after BMW teased what is almost certainly the X6 M50d this week with a video. But what about power, performance and economy on the M50d?

BMW X7 SUV confirmed to top BMW’s X Range

The BMW X5 Plug-in Hybrid will be built at Spartanburg along with the new BMW X7 The idea for BMW to build an SUV bigger than the X5 was put on ice when the world’s economy went in to meltdown in 2008, but the idea of a range-topping BMW X7 was back on the cards as long ago as 2010. Now, four years on, BMW has confirmed that they are planning an X7, that it will be built at their Spartanburg Plant in South Carolina and that it will arrive in 2017 or 2018. BMW aren’t prepared to divulge what platform the X7 will use, but it looks likely it will arrive on a revised version of the platform used for the next generation BMW 7-Series, a platform that will likely also be utilised for the new Rolls Royce SUV when that arrives, with the announcement of the X7 making a Rolls Royce SUV even more likely.
