great!!! needless to say, that I'm a fan of Diesel...

Unfair comparison. A 535d vs a 535i would have been a better demonstration.

what are they using then? a 540? on BMW.de there is no 535i available.. and a 530 would have been destroyed completely ;):D...


amazing time on track! Almost as fast as an 350z (a Sport Coupé!!!) and faster than a Mazda RX8 or a Ford Focus RS!!

Nissan 350Z

3,5-l-V6-Motor
230 kW / 313 PS
0-100km/h 5,7sec
358NM
1529Kg

BMW 535d

3,0l 6-Zylinder
210 kW / 286 PS
0-100 km/h 6,4sec
580NM
1735Kg


BMW did an awesome job in performance!

anyone who still thinks a diesel is noisy, slow and uncomfortable?

Diesels are great !

Can't wait to see what will new 3.0 TDI biturbo be capable of...

[Z07]

THe 123d is quite a performer for a 2.0L. 200bhp/295lbft(400Nm). 54mpg!

Yes, it is fantastic !

VAG has its 2.0 TDI biturbo allmost ready, TT will have it. 204 hp...

No it wouldn't.

No it wouldn't.


yes, it would.. it has 14HP less, 260NM of tourque less and is only 100kg lighter... they would be head to head in acceleration, but on track where you have to accelerate while already on speed, the lack of tourque can't be compansated. That's my opinion...

[Speedou]

Jeah, and 100kg is HUGE different on track. Been driving a lot both of them and 535d is faster, but not much. No experience of the 530 at track.
