2019 M550i 'M Performance Edition'

JoeRock550 · 05-26-2025, 10:57 AM

Hi all. I'm looking at purchasing an 2019 M550i which apparently is an 'M Performance Edition' car. It has a carbon rear diffuser, mirror caps, carbon front lip, and side skirts. It also has factory installed sport exhaust. The dealer says it has a 456 hp motor. Could this car have an N63B44M3 version of the N63? I can't find any info online about this M edition package so not sure if that HP figure is accurate, but perhaps the exhaust adds a few and it's just the Tu2 motor?

Definitely the TU2 being a 2019 car. TU3 didn't start until MY2020.

M Performance are appearance bits besides the muffler.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, but curious as to where they got that HP number. I'll check the engine code on it.

Pre-LCI N63 (up through 2020) had 456 bhp and the LCI had 523 bhp. Not sure what they changed to get more power but it’s probably here on BP or out on the interwebs somewhere.
