i'll just throw in my 2 cents while i'm here... i personally like diesels because they are much more fuel efficient and imo are pretty cool. no comparison to the F-350 4 door diesel I used to have lifted 8" with 24.5s, but same concept. 
If an e60 came to the states diesel i would definately consider it.

[/quote]I dunno about that, but sorry anyways for misreading/misundersatnding your post.
I am in a real bad mood today and will have some fistfighting with my dealer and BMW tomorrow. (Not about diesel engines though)...
I am just way too frustrated today... Maybe I should just go to bed, but I'm so angry I will probably not sleep the entire night...
Sorry, man...

Its the mid range acceleration that counts. The 530d is 2 seconds quicker 50mph - 75mph in 4th gear (manual transmission) than the 530i (first e60 model)
I don't want to start a diesel is better than petrol argument but just wait and see what you think when you get them in the States.
I used to be a petrol head and then tried a 530d - I was astounded never looked back since.

[/quote]I don't think the diesel has lower gearing than the petrol varients.
In 6th gear with the autobox at 70mph the revs are 1,700rpm. This sounds like very high gearing to me. What rpm does the the 3.0 / 4.4 petrol show at 70mph in 6th?
