The engine winner in category 2.5-litre to 3-litre has been driven, 535d, 272hp and 560Nm. More torque than the M5 E60. And tell you the truth, this is the first modern diesel I ever driven.
Start the engine and you can hear a little noise that this is a diesel but when you drive away, you won't notice it anymore.
The car had almost everything, M-package and even head-up display and that was a cool thing. Look out of the window and you can see how fast you can go. I never driven a car with head-up display before but I liked it, you dont have to look down to see how fast you go, just look at the window.
The best part with this car is the engine. I'm telling the truth here but 545i owners and even M5 E39 owners should be careful, do a kick-down and I can honestly tell you, 545i and M5 owners are going to have some serious problems with this car. The force is awesome and you can feel how you being pushed back in the seat.
There are tuners out there for this car, one of them offer a 360hp with 700Nm, I'm sure this car will be faster than a M5 E39.
If V8 isnt important, 545i owners should try this car cause you going to be impressed. You are saving a lot of fuel costs too if you choose a 535d over a 545i.
I definitly take a 535d over 530i. 535d is much faster than 530i, I really enjoyed kickdowns in the diesel
