with almost the same cost and the same cost of gasoline and diesel (so expensive those days and rising.....ufff).... it does not really matter.
The only encounter is HOW MUCH PER year one drives. With around 30000km/year a diesel car will not save you much money anyway. If you drive 60k km / year and up than the diesel makes sense.
Also diesel cars have more costly maintenance (belts around what 120-150k km?) for what 2000EUR?

Yeah, but I think you will find very few people on here that bought a 535d for the economy. I know I didn't.
As for the sound of the diesel, this is my first and I really don't have a problem with the sound of the 535d. It's no V8, but it also doesn't sound like other diesels I've heard. I have not had one passegner ask me if it is diesel. That speaks for itself.
