2020 M550i...how much faster will it really be?

Car & Driver finally posted updated 2020 750i xDrive times, please see below compared to the 2016 750i xDrive.

2016 Model

C/D TEST RESULTS:
Zero to 60 mph: 4.4 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 10.1 sec
Zero to 150 mph: 25.3 sec
Rolling start, 5-60 mph: 5.2 sec
Top gear, 30-50 mph: 2.7 sec
Top gear, 50-70 mph: 3.4 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 12.8 sec @ 112 mph

2020 Model

C/D TEST RESULTS
Zero to 60 mph: 4.0 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 9.6 sec
Zero to 120 mph: 14.0 sec
Rolling start, 5–60 mph: 5.2 sec
Top gear, 30–50 mph: 2.7 sec
Top gear, 50–70 mph: 3.2 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 12.5 sec @ 113 mph

.04 quicker to 60, but .03 quicker in the 1/4 mile and only 1 mph faster trap speed, which is a bit surprising.

The 2020 750i, along with the M550i will share the shorter 1-3 gears similar to the M850i, which probably explains why the 0-60 is considerably quicker, but we don't really see much of an improvement in the trap speed.

Really anxious to see, as some users with dragy are posting some very quick speeds with the M850i..so confusion at this point is at an all time high - maybe for whatever reason the M850i will be faster than the M550i?

For what it's worth, BMW posts "official" 0-60 times on their site as 3.9 for the 2018-2019 M550i and 3.6 for the 2020. They show 3.5 for the M850i. I can't wait for mine to get built!

I’m not sure how many will be able to feel it with the butt dyno. Buts is a beast today and a beast plus now.

Interesting post..I wonder now if the N63TU3's are hardly underrated, or the ones at least that have had the most recent BMW software flash.

Yeah, that is my question, too......

We all know the 18-19 M550's really have like 539hp and 589 torque stock according to Dinan's dyno.

Thus, will the 2020 actually be way faster because BMW severely underrates their numbers again.....or will it really not be any faster then the 18-19 because BMW is simply being more truthful in their numbers.

yup, exactly.

based off the first M850i test where it trapped 123, it was clear the engine had more power, but then there was another test that it did 116....

and the 2020 750i I posted above, only trapped 1 mph more with the new motor. Even though the car weighs more than the M550i, there should have been a bigger delta.

0-60 times will definitely be faster though because of the shorter gear ratios though.
