BMW 640d xDrive announced



On Thursday, Greg Kable waxed effusively about the new BMW M550d xDrive coupe, suggesting that it was the ultimate 5-series for everyday use.

On Friday, Munich announced that the 5's two-door sibling will receive an AWD diesel variant: the 640d xDrive.
While not quite as high-zoot as the 5-series' top oil burner, the 640d's 3.0-liter, twin-turbo straight-six cranks out a respectable 465 lb-ft of almighty torque between 1,500 rpm and 2,500 rpm, plus 313 hp at 4,400 rpm numbers that, according to BMW, will carry the 6-series to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds.
