So what makes the X5 M50d so fast? The answer is a 3.0-litre diesel engine which turns out to be the world's most powerful in-line six-cylinder diesel! The oil burner churns a hefty 381bhp and an earth moving torque of 740 Nm, thanks to tri-turbocharging!

Coupled to an 8-speed automatic transmission, the motor propels the SUV from 0-100kph in just 5.3 seconds. BMW claims fuel consumption of 6.7 litres/100km (14.9kpl). The performance diesel SUV emits 177 g/km of CO2.
