I agree! But on long journeys especially when overtaking is necessary i think the 535d would have a big advantage becasue of the turbo/toruqe setup!

My Ride: 535d, Carbon Black, High Executive, M, Navigation, Logic 7, Shadow line gloss
I have driven in both, hard to say. Like the superb sound of a V8. Like the direct response of the 535d and the feeling in the 535d that the engine has no problem with the weight of the car. It seems that the diesel is having an easier job... lower rpm's

Yeah i agree! I think 70% of the time the 545 is quicker but add some little magic of remapping and then it's the other way around!
