Admittedly, The new BMW M550d has twelve HP more (at 760 Newton metres), but electronically at 250 things tight. The new Alpina D5 S runs a maximum of 286 km/h, the D5 S Touring makes three km/h. All of this provides the allgäu-based Business athlete the title of world's fastest production diesel in the world (so far the Porsche Panamera had a 4S Diesel with 285 km/h).

Italian also the tyres are, because for the first time since more than 32 years, should Pirelli pull the stick back to its gums on the luminary 20-spoke rims.
