These are the numbers from the tests that a Spanish magazine that is specialist in Diesel cars "COCHE ACTUAL" from MOTORPRESS GROUP:

BMW 530d (manual):
0-1000m (s)= 27,6
0-100 km/h (s)= 7,2
Max speed (km/h)= 245
Power HP (test machine)= 237
Consumption (l/100 km)= 7,3

BMW 535d (auto):
0-1000m (s)= 27,6
0-100 km/h (s)= 7,5
Max speed (km/h)= 250
Power HP (test machine)= 272* (BMW data)
Consumption (l/100 km)= 9,3


And faster than that in diesel, you only get the ... MERCEDES C30 CDI AMG.....

Sounds a bit dodgy? The official 0-100 is 6.5s and I've seen figures reported closer to 6.0!

I would be amazed that if after all the development work BMW has put in to create the 535d it would be slower than a 530d, whatever the transmission!

may I present some degree of doubt in regards to what may now be called "the Spanish numerals"?

I clocked my 535 at 7,6 0-100 yesterday, with a pro GPS-meter....................

............ With the same set of soft-rubber winter-tyres that get the DSC involved at 140 km/h (yes - really!)
............. and the automatic not in S-drive
.............and with full traction-control on.

These tires (which admittedly have not been made with dry-asphalt drag-strip racing in mind) loose me at least 1 second in 0-100 on dry asphalt. I find the 7.5 very difficult to believe. These tires are - however great in snow&ice (Nokian Hakkapeliitta 5, studded tires)

Of course - after today's visit to "the doctor" I'm now 0.5 seconds faster regardless of that almost all new torque get's lost due to poor traction
