BMW just launched one of the fastest cars ever in its four-door 2017 M550i xDrive sports sedan, which goes from 0-60 mph in under four seconds. As part of BMW’s M performance lineup, this supercharged 5 series sedan accelerates lightning fast because of the 456 hp 4.4-liter V8 coupled to a sporty eight-speed transmission.

The interior is as well-appointed and ergonomic as any other Beemer although this version — available Spring 2017 — is equipped with state-of-the-art connection tech including synched BMW Connected and BMW Remote apps.
