Maybe an option, get a 530xd (instead of a 535d), saves you around ? 10.000,-. Go to an reputable tuner like AC Schnitzer, Hartge.
and spend 1500,- on a chip that will get you hp/nm even with an 535d. Cheaper and you get it all you want.

I'm doing the same with my 525d. Not buying a 530d saves me ? 6000,- (535d diff. ? 16000,-), I go to Hartge and get 271hp/590nm (=535d power).
yet another option. must check wether the brakes of the 535d differ from the 530xd.

Brakes on the 535d are slightly larger than 530d (same as 545 / 550i); don't know about xd.

As an Austrian you know that a set of good wintertyres will get you almost everywhere.

Go for the 535d!! Do it, you won't regret.

Agreed, I had no problems with my 530D in St Anton / Lech on winter tyres last winter.

Mind you, snow was a bit thin on the ground, hoping for better things in March 2008 !
