The people from
Auto-Dynamics tend to keep things as simple as possible when it comes to
pulling the curtain up for new products.We’ve already seen what they can do to
the BMW X5 M, and their latest project, a tuned M550i xDrive follows a similar
route, with ECU remapping and an aftermarket exhaust system by AC Schnitzer.
With all upgrades
up and running, the twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 develops 539 PS and 788 Nm of torque, or 61 PS less and 38 Nm more than the current M5.
The Polish tuner
hasn’t disclosed any performance numbers, except for the fact that the 100 to
200 km/h acceleration is “colossal”. Given that the M5 accelerates
from naught to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, and all the way up to 305
km/h with the M Driver’s Package, we’d expect the tuned M550i to post
similar numbers.
Auto-Dynamics
haven’t taken their potent executive sedan to a spectacular landscape for a
proper photo shoot either, as the gallery shows it testing on the dyno, with
emphasis on the aforementioned exhaust system, with 90 mm black satin
tips.
