My Ride: Current - 330 Sport Topaz Blue, Grey Leather, HK HIFI...lost interest!!
Waiting for - 535d Sport, Silver Grey, Foldy Mirrors, 172 19",Logic7,Pro Radio,Through load,Heated Front Seats,High Gloss shadowline,Black Maple,Headlight wash,Sun Protection Glass.
Thought Id pass on my thoughts, after the DMS boys have done their magic.
The car, has imediate throttle response, I know now it didnt before. The power hits as soon as you press the juice and pushes you through 60mph in 5.5 seconds and on to 100 in 13....
The torque really pushes into your back as you accelarate and you get a geet big cheesy grin on your face all the time....
Oh yeah...then you sellect DS
and the gears stay in for longer and the grin gets wider...
Anyhoo dont know what I'm doing gibbering on to you lot, I'm going out for a drive....
The car is great in standard, but its the car it should be now

Dawn it, you guys are lucky to have 535d with 344 hp and 506lbft of torque. Also, it's not as heavy as V8. What a blast!

V8 is too heavy, and not agile as I6. I think 535i would be an alternative choice for us here. However, carfreak, we both are unlucky that California does not want diesel to be here. WTH.

According to BMW's UK website the 535d and 550 weigh the same.
Way to go with the DMS - do you have a before and after rolling road report?
