Sport Auto have tested the 286 PS 535d and they had 0-160 km/h in 14.2 s.

Judging from the numbers you've provided below, your 0-160 km/h might be less than the 535d! Your car is fast man

I think it is now cold in SA. What is the temperature currently? 10-20 degrees C in the morning I would guess.

13.8 is a good time for a 550i E60? seems like it should be closer to 13.4-13.5.

why the heck are there no 530d's in the US? faster and cheaper gas. doh!
