Possibly, and this was kind of what I was trying to start a discussion on. Anyone see the Top Gear show where the M3 followed the Prius round the track and achieve better fuel economy than the Prius? Found a link on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKTOyiKLARk
Because the 525d, 530d and 535d have the same engine, I think the difference will be almost identical.

I dont think there will be much in it as the 535d will need to be producing at least the same amount of power as the 525d to keep up and may even need to produce a tad more due to the extra weight.

If a 525d and 535d were driven areoud a track you would have to go well in excess of 100mph, as the 525d would still be at cruising speed. So this wouldn't be relevant on normal motorways. By the way I like the M3 / Prius clip, I had heard about it, but never seen the clip before

And what about those who claim the fuel economy in their 535d is better after getting the car chipped? Power=fuel doesn't add up on that account for me.

@ Mikael:
Those figures in my experience for a 530d are pretty much spot on IMHO, nice linky thanks
