If anybody has spoke to the DMS guys about this.. of have driven both... Let us know.. as clearly the 535 is just not the amazing car the M5 is... but as i said.. will a diesel 3 Litre touch the 5 Litre Pertol???
Remember the power in a diesel Engine is totally different.. so don't start quoting the BHP on the Pertol and The BHP on the DMS Tuned Diesel... i'm really talking about rubber on the tarmac... not figures..
Chers Guys..
Talk soon..

And may i add..... I'm aware that the top speed on the M5 is much greater than that of the Diesel.. so let me clear this one up, by saying.... can the diesel keep up through the Mid Range.. NOT top end!!!

The M5 and the 535 are playing in two totally different leagues!
I know because my friend has a 535 and it doesn?t have a chance against my M5.
The 535 actually was beaten by my 545iA, but that one was really close.
My friends 535 is in for Hartge tuning, so maybe he will be alittle closer in performance. But remember the M5 is a supercar in sedan disguise, the 535 is not!

The 535 is just an M5 that runs with diesel...lol...it's a diesel supercar...in a diesel world and not only. Petrolheads up to 250bhp know why...
And i also agree that with some ecu remapin' for sure it would kill alot more even petrolheads with 320-330+ bhp. This tt diesel is so easy to get it tuned and squeeze ALOT more power. (78 bhp to get just from some chip tuning is just awesome).

The M5 is in a totally different field than the 535d or even 535d dms remap. Based on the linked article , I not quite sure the DMS 535d is outside of the stock 545i field (5.5 sec 0-60 vs 5.4, 0-60 for 545i).

Well i have a dms 535 d touring and yes it is fast but not fast enough for an M5.
To give you some idea my brothers M3 is only slightly faster from lets say 30mph to 110 mph but i mean very SLIGHTLY, saying that on twisty roads i do get spanked .
But if you have a 545i you will not be in the faster car !
