I have timed my 530d in DS mode 0-60 in 6 secs, but my 530d has 275bhp + 460 lb ft torque at 2000rpm which really helps with 0-60 time.
Colejl if your in Essex take a trip to Sanspeed in Bexleyheath, Kent get yours Superchipped, best ?500 you will ever spend. If you would like to have a go in mine first pm me. The latest Superchip remap in undetecable by BMW AND allows system software to be loaded.
BMC Carbon Airbox going on Friday, will post results.
Cheers

I'm interested - is the change just software? I have a service-inclusive and definitely want to protect the warranty!!!
Did you get your 275bhp measured or is it what it says on the tin?

The figure was measured on Sanspeeds rolling road, if you call Sanspeed, ask for Graham, tell him I gave you the contact, as he's a mate
Offers open if you want a go in mine, or my business partners car is identical to mine and he leaves in Stansted.

Is the 535d available with a 6spd manual or SMG?

My Ride: various
Model Year: F10 2015 M Sport 530d
535d is a auto only, as the manual box can't take the torque. I'd much rather have a auto with a diesel anyway, as its so quick going to the red line. The 535d will be faster, easily.
