German tuning powerhouse Hamann and Automobile DS & Auto Werke give the BMW X5 M50d a makeover. Apart from the 23-inch Hamann Anniversary Evo Black Line wheels and the necessary wide tires, the X5 M50d gets wheel arch extensions and a Hamann kit lowering springs to further distinguish the luxury tuned SUV from the BMW Spartanburg plant-built X5 series.
The BMW M Performance variant of the BMW X5 F15 carries standard the M Sport package and the only difference is that the M50d features some accents in Ferric Grey.
Under the hood, the BMW X5 M50d sports a 3.0 liter tri-turbo six-cylinder diesel developing 381 horsepower and 740 Newton meters allowing the powerful X5 to accelerate to 100 km/h in just 5.3 seconds. The fuel consumption is rated at 6.6 liters per 100 km.
For those who are looking for more performance, DS Automobiles & Auto Werke offer a power upgrade which increases the output from 381 to 462 horsepower. The maximum torque climbs from 740 to 900 Nm.

Wow, up to 462 HP and 900Nm?? Will this be ok for the engine and transmission? I havent found on their page any performance upgrades info. Would be interested in the stats of this tuned triturbo engine as Im driving the M550d F11. Does someone have any link for this? thanks
