2017 BMW 550 Gran Turismo

One year removed from modest changes for the 2016 model, the 2017 BMW 550i xDrive Gran Turismo is unchanged.

Lift the hood of your 550i Gran Turismo and you’ll find V8 power at the ready. This twin-turbo V8 displaces at 4.4 liters and delivers 445 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque. It comes paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission with sport and manual shift modes.

The 550i comes with a long list of standard equipment. All models are outfitted with 18-inch V Spoke light alloy wheels and run-flat all-season tires. Xenon adaptive headlamps with auto leveling, LED accent lights, LED fog lights, and power folding heated side mirrors are included.

Inside, this model offers room for five with 20-way, power adjustable bucket seats up front and a 40-20-40 split fold-down rear seat with a pass-through to the cargo area. Dark leather upholstery and dark wood trim decorate the cabin. You’ll also find ambiance lighting, a panoramic moonroof, and a power liftgate.

A 16-speaker, 600-watt Harman Kardon surround sound audio system is standard. Satellite radio, HD radio, a CD/MP3 player, Bluetooth connectivity, a USB port, and auxiliary input are included. This model has a navigation system with a 10.2-inch high-resolution screen.

Standard safety features include dynamic cruise control, a rearview camera, park distance control, and active front headrests.

Besides the standard model, the 550i xDrive Gran Turismo can be had in one of two lines—Luxury Line or M Sport.
