NICE.......wonder will it still have the 50/50 balance with the heavy diesel block

0-60 in 6.6secs..that's some number from a diesel

Is too fast to be a diesel, nice work from BMW

I guess so the new engine is just 14 kg heavier than the normal 3.0d.

BMW M5 the saloon car on the planet :twisted:

Thats a great engine, nice car I just wish they could change up the looks a bit...I'm not a huge fan of the new BMW styling..

[Ford Capri 2.8i]

It has to be a proficient car, as BMW gets with the turbo diesel engines in 95% of the times, although i dont fancy with the turbo diesel engines, although a turbo diesel engine is compulsory for some usability at work, on the other hand as ive mentioned in another time in this forum, i dont dislike the 5 seriess shape, not as the 7 series and the 6 series shapes, which for me are absolutely hideous

[schnell318]

I think a car as the 535 d could very well be my perfect everyday car, you get a lot of power, more than enough torque from very low rpm and it has very acceptable fuel consumption :D :D plus it looks very atractive in my opinion and has enough room for five people and luggage.

I just wish I had the $$ and then I could also get an M5 for really incredible driving pleasure :twisted:

looks nice and acceptable fuel comsumption

I think that the new MB diesel (350 CDI) will be better than this..... :wink:

Still its a "superdiesel engine"..... 8)

The main difference will be that in the MB engine there will be one turbo per bank of cylinders and in the BMW, there´s actually a small and a big turbo and they don´t work at the same time. We´ll see which is best but I have to say I have a strong feeling that the I6 will :wink:

With all that torque in these kinda cars, manual will be a wiser choise.. coz u can start in second and just skip shift it to forth...........

MB doesn't have such an option I believe....so I guess BMW has the advantage.

[ahmedgiyab]

Manual for 580Nm.....?! :?

So why VW doesn't offer manual for the Touareg and the Phateon V10 5.0 TDI....?!

:wink:

[komotar]

Man, that's one nice ride.
I drove the 530d and the car felt great.
Can't wait to get my hands on this torque beast.......smoehow :roll: :twisted:

[schnell318]

Although I{m all for manual normally I guess the auto would be a better choice in this case
