Simple...
Purchase price of very well discounted 535d fully specced up with DMS remap : ?45k
Purchase price of M5 fully specced up : around ?72k
535d DMS Max torque : 695Nm
M5 Max torque : 520Nm
... and I didn't want a used / non LCI M5 either.
I'm not saying the 535d is a better car than an M5, I'm sure it's not, but for my purpose, the 535d was the right choice. Oh - and diesel "chatter"? On the 535d? Have you not heard that thing ROAR??
Every person I've shown it to says "it's a DIESEL???" Sure, it's no V10 symphony, but I think it sounds great!

Yeah I know, mine sounds great too, especially if I turn off the A/C, the idling sound gets better. Not far from the new direct injection I6 petrol engines.
