550e- serious sleeper car?

Eir Fiver · 02-25-2025, 11:56 AM

Anyone find that traffic light racers get surprised by the take off speed of your 550e?

I'm not. There's a reason why the m5 the big brother is a plug in hybrid as well. These electric motors go and add on the B58 engine it's perfection.

They should have called this car the m550i.

How many of those are in launched mode from stop light or just boost mode or just foot to the floor start?

Car is very fast and a surprise to a lot of people. Golf GTI with (sounded like) pretty tuned didnt have a chance

.
Most impressive is the effortless on the autobahn when you do like 100 – 200 sprints. My other car (991.2 C4S) is faster but it has to work for that speed in comporison (which makes it fun offcourse).

When looking at the cars performance they could have called it an M550e. Dont think BMW will but they could put the M760e driveline in there, which is the 550e driveline with ~380hp from the engine instead of ~313.
