My Ride: 535D Sport Auto

Regardless of who's got the fastest - What did you guys without any experience of diesels think of the 535d?

My Ride: MY05 545i Jet Black with Auburn interior. SMG, Logic7, Sport Package, Comfort Seats, Navigation.
I used WindowMedia and it played OK with 3 seconds audio off-phase.
Anyways, I thought the 545i's driver was all over the track, fish-tailing and going wide. It would be interesting to see another run with drivers switched to get a balanced result.
Color Red is just awsome with sport pack.

How come the M3 lap time is the same as the 535d? Surely it must have been pretty wet when they tested the M3.
p.s. link doesnt work...I really wanna watch this

It's currently located right here (right-click and do a "save target as") but Busta will most likely move it to another directory after a while.
EDIT: Also, thanks to skaffa, an .mpg version was uploaded (no audio sync problem and will work with more players) and can currently be found here (right-click and do a "save target as.") Again, Busta may end up moving them to a more permanent place eventually so the links above may end up dead after a while...
