Talking

The answer is torque!
The 530d has the same torque than the E39 M5, much more than the 530i.
The same for the 525d with the 525i. The diesel has more available torque at low revs and mid revs, that makes the diference in the regular drive.

Same price here in Belgium, so I guess that it will be the same in Portugal as well.
