The 335d and 335i provide perhaps the easiest comparison as you can't get an E60 535i in the UK. Either way, it's going to be much the same story - had the 535d raced the 535i, I'd put money on the 3.0 TT I6 gas engine to "win" this particular battle as again it's much quicker from the start.
I think you'd be surprised to find that BMW car magazine did a head to head 335i vs 335d, 335i won in all but every test although when completing laps of a race track 335d came out the winner due to superior torque out of the corners! Overall conclusion petrol quick but never under estimate the BMW twin Turbo oil burner!!

My Ride: 2010 M5 alpine white, black full leather, etc.
I hope we get the the diesel 5 over here. I drive them as rentals when I travel across the pond and love them. Very civilized. Great mileage. Indestructible. And a blast to drive.

, that was the old steel engine, the LCI has an aluminium or in your world aluminum (which is just wrong i might add ) still a great quote though...
