Concrete evidence of the long-rumored 5-Series diesel from
BMW's M division has emerged from a BMW dealer presentation in the Netherlands, of all places.The leaked specs indicate the Bimmer will have a tri-turbo six-cylinder diesel at its heart capable of 375hp and 516lb-ft of torque, making it a viable alternative to the BMW 550i (402hp and 440lb-ft); while a document from a new BMW brake pad package displaying the new model code M550dX indicates the M5 diesel will be AWD-only.
