It's ok she was replaced with the new conservative leader Tony Bliar.

If Clarkson is reviewing then the Diesel will most definitely lose!!!

I was looking for a 535d but the impending 540i (virtually same cost) looks very attractive... V8 - Hmmmm

The V8 does look interesting. I would test drive them both before making my mind up.

He he - it's not exactly difficult is it!

I hope they're testing a 535d vs 550i But I reckon it will be a 530d vs 530i as these are the common mid-range models... Hopefully the Stig will have a go round their track!
