The 2012 Geneva Motorshow is now underway and making its world debut is the BMW X6 M50d. The X6 M50d (along with its X5 brother) will have their market launch in just a few weeks.

The M50d models feature the following specs:

- Six-cylinder in-line diesel engine with M Performance TwinPower Turbo technology, aluminium crankcase, three turbochargers (high-pressure, with variable turbine geometry), common-rail direct injection with piezo injectors, maximum injection pressure: 2,200 bar.
- Displacement: 2,993 cc,
- Output: 280 kW/381 hp at 4,000 – 4,400 rpm,
- Max. torque: 740 Nm (546 lb-ft) at 2,000 – 3 000 rpm

BMW X5 M50d:
Acceleration [0 – 100 km/h (62 mph)]: 5.4 seconds,
top speed: 250 km/h (155 mph),
average fuel consumption: 7.5 litres/100 kilometres (37.7 mpg imp),
CO2 emissions: 199 g/km, exhaust standard: EU5.

BMW X6 M50d:
Acceleration [0 – 100 km/h (62 mph)]: 5.3 seconds,
top speed: 250 km/h (155 mph),
average fuel consumption: 7.7 litres/100 kilometres (36.7 mpg imp),
CO2 emissions: 204 g/km, exhaust standard: EU5.

Unfortunately, neither the X6 M50d nor M550d will make it stateside, but look for future gasoline M Performance models to make it to North America. Ironically, both the X6 and X5 M50d will be produced at BMW Plant Spartanburg in the USA.

In case you missed it, we recently drove the M550d (F10) which shares the same engine as the X6/X5 M50d. We've published our review @ http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=653954

For more detailed info on the X6 and X5 M50d (and M Performance models in general), including full specs, dyno, and media, see http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=640422
