Thanks for the welcome folks.

I also drive a track-biased Nissan 200SX - full cage, 350bhp turbo petrol, rock-hard suspension car and am in the owners club for that. Car forums can be great places and I browsed this one for a while before signing up. You seem like great guys who really know your stuff.

Both cars are great to drive, but in such completely different ways. I'm loving the wave of torque from the 535D , seriously license threatening though! The Nissan is so noisy you are very aware of the speeds you're doing, but Vader is so quiet that I'm having to re-learn my speed perception.

I've read about a DMS ECU conversion for the 535D that seems to free up even more torque. Not sure I'll need it for a daily driver, but any opinions on it?

 

to the forums, lots of info here.
