I like!
That is pre remap torque, I want this car.

Yes. I'm glad that BMW has understood the point of awd in this car.
The real M5...?

I like this diesel
after chip tuning it will be crazy fast
i'd wait till the first mod year has come out and gone before buying- much less chip tuning- such a thing. when it works it'll pull like a locomotive. i'd like to see it go against the S6.
Past- A4, TT, S4
Present- R8 V10
I bet it will do the 0-60 and 0-100 times in 4.7s and 11.5s respectively, hardly S6 material but still stellar for a diesel.

So, BMW releasing 3.0l, six cil' ''trhee turbo'' engine, while Audi still doesen't have bi-turbo 3.0 V6...
They do have a twin turbo 3.0 diesel now, they finally caught up, then BMW moved the game on again.

How does Audi follow this? I can't imagine packaging 3 turbos into a v6 is easy - BMW has the advantage of an inline 6 here. Also, I'd always take a lighter 3 turbo 6 cylinder over a v8 any day.
By the way, does anyone know if the new 5 series xDrive will come to the UK in right-hand-drive?

I just realised this...
Audi A6 3.0 TDI - (3.0l, V6 turbo, 245 hp, 500 Nm)
Audi A6 3.0 TDI - (3.0l, V6 bi-turbo, 313 hp, 500 Nm)
BMW 530d - (3.0l, R6 turbo, 258 hp, 540 Nm)
BMW 535d - (3.0l, R6 bi-turbo, 313 hp, 630 Nm)
Merc' E 350 CDI - (3.0l, V6, 265 hp, 620 Nm)
Is it possible that Audis engine has this tourque disadvantage over rivals...?
Than, there is wrong info' on audi.de http://www.audi.de/de/brand/de/neuwa...che_daten.html
BTW, Merc's 3.0 single turbo has impressive torque figure (620 Nm) compared to Audis (500 Nm) and BMWs (540 Nm) single turbos...
Is this actually a tri-turbo system in the Beemer or is it a bi-turbo system where one of the turbos is BMW's Twinpower version?
