and i honestly think the M3 is considerably the faster car round any track.
535d has more torque so is faster

Did you see the self driving 330i in the end? That was the coolest thing in the whole show!

I did a BMW Pefection M Fahrer Training in Zandvoort circuit (Amsterdam) with the Z4M coupe for two days on track. On both days we learned the ideal circuit line in 330i Track Trainers. With telemetry data recorded by Claudia Huertgen. It was a dream. I have pictures from there. "Driving" the self-driving 330i with lap recorded by Claudia is a dream. Scary but still a dream.

More torque does not mean it's faster. Just accelerates a bit faster. But that's not necessarily faster.
Yes, it is obvious for normal people. But not for diesel users - I was joking

hp is just torque multiplied by rpm, and since diesels don't reach high rms from construction they need big torque numbers.
So be it a petrol car or a diesel car or whatever engine on the face of this planet more torque is better than less torque. For normal people that is...

You'll be pleased to hear Alex, that they brought out a Diesel version too ( Clickety Click ) Might have the stats to finally beat your car. Only just though
