Done.
I am curious as to which school you are attending and what degree are you pursuing.

, I'd reckon that a 535d will do more than just keep up with a 550i.

Don't know if it makes a difference to you, but I answered 'no' to the 'do you own a BMW?' question because mine hasn't arrived yet, so technically I don't own one, but it's just a matter of time (and hoping for good luck that the boat doesn't sink or tip over).

Submitted. With so much torque, why is the 535d so much slower in 0-60 run? Also in the US, diesel is taxed differently than gasoline which makes diesel usually more expensive. I think in Europe diesel is cheaper than gasoline. We do this here to push a higher financial burden on the commercial vehicle users, as they are currently the only users of diesel. The US should remove that incremental difference in taxes for the general public, whereby lowering diesel per gallon costs, thus further incouraging diesel acceptance by the general public. Letting diesel buyers use the currently useless HOV lanes would also help significantly in diesel acceptance.

Not true. Diesel is almost always more expensive that Petrol in Europe. Its only in places like Asia and that too if the government decides to subsidise diesel it it cheaper.
I haven't been to Germany for a while now, but I remember seeing there that diesel fuel costs slightly less than gasoline. In France diesel cars account more than two-thirds of their annual car sales.
Again thanks to everyone for participating my survey! You can still keep 'em coming!
