Detroit 2017: BMW M550i xDrive and 530e iPerformance World Debut

I want the M550d.

Does it come with an LSD? If not, it's a deal breaker!

For the first time I see small yellow (amber?) LED accents on the side of the headlights (similar to those on F10 LCI with Adaptive LED). It is clearly visible on the pics from Detroit. It looks as this is US-only feature now as nowhere in Europe were showed anything like that...

I won't miss those small lights. Never liked them on my f10.

Not sure if anyone noticed this - but the tires on the M550 xDrive are P Zero Run Flat

On this particular model
Others have been seen fitted with Michelin PSS Non-Runflat

This particular 20" P Zero Run Flat is listed for all 20" G30 wheels
The other regular 20" G30 tyre is the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3

PSS Runflat would be a surprising choice since Michelin is no longer doing new oem fitments for that. They would probably go with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S for OEM fitment (same as on 2018 Mercedes E63) if they went with non run flat. I hope they do this.

If run flat then P Zero 4 is probably only decent option for a max performance tire.

PSS non-Runflat
Maybe production cars will get the 4S version ? (non-runflat)

My guess it will be a "track package" or something to get the below wheels and Michelin tyres

Here you can see PSS fitted

Not sure if these are PSS or 4S

I assume it's Carbon black.

You can only choose from six colors (plus individual colors later on) on the M550i.

Fixinbones · 05-09-2017, 09:16 PM

I believe it's Mediterranean blue, carbon black is much darker with a hint of blue in direct sunlight
