Hi folks - just got my baby last week. Even though I am coming from a 350Z I am still impressed with the power/torque of the 520d. And its soo comfortable.. I just wanna drive and drive

WoW Welcome!
Nice to see you are impressed with the 520d considering the fact that you come from a 350z. That's interesting...

Glad you are impressed. I really like mine. Performance is fine and economy brilliant.

I came from a 3.2 DSG TT, but like you I dont particularly miss the performance. What I do like is putting ?25 a week less fuel in it!

That car looks familiar - great choice and welcome to the forum!

Just wait for the engine to loosen up, you'll be enjoying it even more. By the sounds of it, you'll be racking up the miles pretty quick... enjoy!

Cheers
