To 100 it might be pretty close, but he will walk you over the whole line. Its pretty ran I saw one accelerate on the german autobahn and its pretty quick.

so? the S-class is more luxuorious than a e60 individual... i dont think the owner would care.

I agree actually - no one buys an S320 CDI to be a boy racer and I don't think they would be particularly fussed that the 530d is faster.

Believe it or not the S320 CDI was a serious contender in my choice of car - but personally I put performance over comfort and I also prefer BMW's image.

As to the next model up - what about the s350?
