My Ride: 535D Sport Auto
Rushed out to buy Autocar so I could read the ultimate E60 test and it turned out to be a big disapointment. 
Just a few pages and photo's with std specification listings. I think they just had a quick drive round the block in the B5 and the other 2 were just detailed from memory. They talk constantly about the B5 and occassionally mention the other 2. Not worth the read! :thumbsdown:
Basically the M5 wins, 535d 2nd and the B5 3rd. They don't like the B5 because it has more torque than the car can really handle.
