BMW X5 M50d and X7 M50d Final Editions Mark The End Of The Quad-Turbo Diesel Engine

BMW will retire its 3.0-liter quad-turbocharged diesel engine in September, but not before celebrating it with two special editions of the X5 and X7, aptly named the Final Edition.

Now, we will start by telling you that you can have neither of the two, unless you live in Romania, as both of them are exclusive to the eastern European country, according to the company’s local arm.

For a swansong, changes are actually modest, as they include the ‘Final Edition’ entry sills and a pretty long list of standard features, such as the laser headlights, semi-autonomous driving, head-up display, Harman Kardon premium sound system, acoustic glass, ‘Crafted Clarity’ trim inside and a few other bits and pieces.

The 3.0-liter quad-turbo inline-six engine pumps out 394 HP (400 PS / 294 kW) and a massive 560 lb-ft (760 Nm) of torque. The X5 M50d, which is basically the diesel alternative to the full-blown X5 M, takes as little as 5.2 seconds to complete the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint, and flat out, it will do 155 mph (250 km/h).

The larger X7 M50d packs the same output and torque, but due to the added weight, it is 0.2 seconds slower to 62 mph (100 km/h), requiring 5.4 seconds for the sprint. Top speed is also limited to 155 mph (250 km/h).

In the WLTP cycle, the German automaker states that the X5 M50d returns 28.3 mpg US (8.3 l/100 km) and emits 218 g/km of CO2. The X7 M50d achieves a combined 26.1 mpg (9 l/100 km) and has carbon dioxide emissions of 235 g/km.
