My Ride: 2006 530 d M-sport e60
The biggest seller in the UK is predicted to be the 520d. This 1,995cc four cylinder diesel features the latest generation common-rail direct injection and a turbocharger with variable turbine geometry which increases power and efficiency. Producing 184hp at 4,000rpm, the 520d accelerates from zero to 62mph in 8.1 seconds before going onto a top speed of 141mph (140 for automatic transmission). The peak torque of 380Nm from just 1,900rpm ensures that progress is smooth and swift in any gear. Fuel economy is exceptional with a combined fuel consumption figure of 56.5mpg (54.3mpg)* and a CO2 rating of 132g/km (137g/km)*, making the BMW 520d the most efficient car in its segment.
Topping the range is the BMW 550i which is powered by an acclaimed 407hp 4,395cc V8 engine. With its twin-turbocharger technology, the 550i offers performance well above its class with a zero to 62mph time of just 5.0 seconds and an electronically-limited top speed of 155mph. Its twin-turbochargers provide a near flat torque curve to provide relaxed yet rapid in-gear acceleration for the automatic transmission only equipped car. Peak torque of 600Nm is available consistently between 1,750rpm and 4,500rpm. The BMW 550i logs a combined consumption figure of 27.2mpg and CO2 emissions of 243g/km.
The new BMW 5 Series Saloon goes on sale 20 March, 2010.
low end diesel and top end petrol in case any one wanted to know

Since I own a 520d, my next car will definitely be a gas engine-one !
Probably a 535i or 530i. 550 is too rich for my blood (bloody expensive in Taiwan)
and 520d is just too 'clackety-clack' noisy for me.

Perhaps it's the 530d that's quieter but the 520dLCI that I have makes quite a racket... hehehe
