I would expect the range to be fully developed by next summer ?

I agree, I wish we had M550d in the UK. Looking under the bonnet on my 540i I can see it maybe a problem to squeeze in the 4 turbos with the steering column passing through that space. My dealer used to tell me that about F10/11 550d...with 3 turbos, not being available in right hand drive ....but I think I believe him now I looked. |

Very volatile atmosphere against diesels and even petrols in the UK. The tories are a bit incoherent and so manufacturers are left pushing cars out with huge discounts - can't complain lol
Bmw Uk Has £4k deposit contributions towards 530d/540i and that's before dealer discounting
I think faced with that adversity, Bmw Uk perhaps thought well M550 market too small , I'm surprised the M50d made it thru (my current car)
Great contributions from you mate !
