And the first part of your post has left a very disturbing mental image in my mind

A standard 535D will eat a 530i for breakfast, but in standard form, only the petrol engines from the 530i backwards would be beaten. In DMS form, the stakes are raised & a 545i would be a fair match, the result may go either way, but it would not be a walkover for either car. A 550i would be expected to win, as of course the M5 would.

This is a debate that will live for years & will never get settled. Everyone is entitled to their experiences & has their own stories/kills.
If anyone cars to follow my link to VMAX speeds a couple of posts above, you'll see just how many exotic machines i killed in my 4 door Audi saloon

They tend to be STARTED by petrol owners (they must feel scared
) but we Diesel boys tend to pretty much jump in with both feet.

That's a very good point!
It's always petrolheads berating... Personally I understand the pro's and con's of both. It will be interesting in 25 years, we'll be 'arguing' about hydrogen vs fission power... ![Devil](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/devil.gif)
