BMW Says Goodbye To Four-turbine Diesel With A Couple Of Special Editions

BMW will say goodbye to the unique four-turbine diesel engine with special Final Edition versions of the X5 M50d and X7 M50d crossovers. The three-liter 400-strong "six" turned out to be too complicated and expensive to manufacture.

• As Carscoops writes, so far the limited equipment has been announced only for Romania by the local representative of the brand. It is not known when the special off-road vehicles will appear in other markets.
• The most noticeable difference between the new products and the basic models is the special nameplates. Plus, the crossovers have a wealth of equipment, including laser headlights, head-up display, top-end speaker system, leather and a full range of active safety systems.
• The history of the M50d version began in 2013. Then the engine had three turbines. It produced 381 hp. and 740 Nm. The first to receive it was the second-generation X5. Then the engine switched to the BMW X6. By the time the flagship X7 was released, four turbines had already been installed on the unit, and its output reached 400 hp. and 760 Nm of torque. Diesel was also installed on passenger BMWs of the fifth and seventh series.
