See my earlier post regarding combinatorial factors.
What's the power to weight ratio?

ABC
1700 Kg/368 HP

I'm using my car much in my work and every extra km per ? is money in my pocket.

In this case ok, you are right .

I'm with you on the fact that 545i is i great and very entertaining drive. But, but not fun enough to justifie the extra money if you compare it to the 535d. I'm using my car much in my work and every extra km per ? is money in my pocket. On the way there, I think (for me, and a strongly growing bunch of people) the diesel is a better drive. I like my 560nm.. And yes I've driven them all, M5 (E39), 750i (the new facelifted), 535d and etc.. I'm now waiting to place an order for the facelifted 535d.

I just didn't like you calling my choice of engine sickness... And "trust me" does not work for me without following with _good_ arguments.
I used to drive diesels car in UK and back then (10 years ago) they are sickness but now I wish I had 1 in HK or in fact any where in the world that sells BMW diesel.
I go with you 100%.
If I need a day to day car the it will be the big D.
