On this note i hope i will make vroooom in the future but with an M that is. Other non-M petrol powerplants don't deserve attention from me right now. But that's not a frustration for me. In a way it's
when my car doesn't make vroooom as other L6 petrol engines or other petrol engines from other cars but leaves them behind. That's just sick when they make vrooom and get whiped Anyway told you man but you don't really want to get it. There is no much difference between a vrooomy 545i (stock) and a 535d remaped trrrr. Sound is the difference but when your car makes vrooom so does the gas gauge, vroooom the neddle. That's the price.

I will laugh of M5 when I will have mounted the supercharger .
Ah, I remember you M5 is only a faster 545/550 with LSD, but I prefer to do 9 km/l with 400 HP instead of 6 km/l with 500 HP .
Ah, I must stop my car to fill in every 600 km, not every 350 .

When petrolheads stop worring about fuel consumption with cars over 400-500bhp it starts to make me laugh in a way.
Fitting a supercharger to your engine...well talk about smoking inner tires on corners
and you talk about nothing special with the m5 (you that will have a basic 5 series with a whiner bolted on to the engine that will indeed probably match the m5)?! Wait till superchargers will be available for the V10 screamer (ohhh btw did i mention they will eat even more fuel 
)

LOL, in fairness I doubt there are going to be too many frustrations on a 545 owner's part... The bigger gas engines are probably still faster, remap or not, than the diesel. I have never seen a stock or remapped diesel (from the higher end tuners, e.g. Wetterauer and DMS) turn in times that can better the best 545 review times (never mind the sub 5 second times that a few owners on here report). It's not just a 0-60 thing - on high speed runs from a standstill the V8 engine doesn't stop pulling either, and it has a much wider rev range to work with than the diesel. That's perhaps the key difference - diesel torque is truly phenomenal but you run out of steam too soon because of the limited rev range. Don't doubt the 535's better in gear acceleration, I'd probably counter with the argument that you don't want to drive a revvy car like the gas V8's like that, you would use the revs and gears differently. If a 535 was pulling against a rolling 545 and both drivers were pushing for max acceleration in the manner best suited to their specific vehicle the diesel advantage is essentially nullified.
C&D reviewed a 330d that was in the US for Bosch promotional purposes and compared it to the 330i a few months back. They loved the diesel and said that it felt quicker than the gas equivalent - but on every test measurement the 330i was actually faster. Point being the 535d, like pretty much every turbo diesel, will feel quicker than it actually is - which from the driver's standpoint is a very good thing, but the numbers I've seen by and large don't support the argument that the diesels are actually quicker, even post remap. Take the economics out of the mix (EU market conditions clearly favor the 535d), and it ends up being personal choice - you do have to work harder to keep a gas engine in its sweet spot whereas a top drawer turbo diesel like the 535d is much more effortless, and some will prefer one over the other. Personally I suspect I might prefer the driveability options that the diesel has to offer (and I hope we get them in the US as soon as possible) but I do think the gas V8 is, ultimately, a little faster.
The diesels' torque is a well known fact, I'm sick and tired of hearing that this makes it superior in every sense of performance on the E60 chassis. YAWN.......
