I think the Audi 3.2 would be quicker than a 530d. When I had my old 530 (231hp) I have raced many times with E60 530d I won all the time!
But I got smoked by the Audi 3.2
. So the conclusion is that the Audi wins over the 530d. But now when I got the 258hp engine I'm going to smoke some Audi's!!! ![Twoup](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/twoup.gif)

New here, just wondering how the 218 hp 530d stacks up against the A6 3.2? I have been told.. quote <..the acceleration on the a6 3.2 is better than the 530d..> needless to say this was not received well by me...anyone care to refute the aforesaid claim??

[/quote]In a standing start the 530i would just win if you ragged it to peak power every gear but it's hard work. You're right about the in-gear times side-by-side...

As long as we're talking about the new 255hp 3.2 A6, why not compare apples to apples? The 255hp N52 530i would smoke it - the 530i is actually lighter than the -A4- with that engine. There wouldn't even be a question against an A6.

However, it's because of this car that I am expecting VERY good things for the upcoming e90 M3. BMW has less than 2 years to tune that V8 derived from the M5's V10 and being that they already know the specs on Audi's offering, you can bet the M3 will be amazing.
