My Ride: E60 530d Sport - Carbon Black, Black Dakota Leather, Media Pack (satnav, bluetooth, CD changer), heated font seats, through load
Default

Just got a copy of this month's Total BMW magazine. My 530d is featured, along with the DMS demo 535d.

Not read the article yet, but I thought I'd mention it. For those interested in comparing the 535d to the 530d and/or considering a visit to DMS

Some nice photos of the 2 black cars together.

Nice - how did you come to get your car featured?

I enquired about a DMS upgrade for my 645ci, ups the power to c 360 bhp but I'm really concerned that it will affect warrenty despite claims that it's undetectable - any thoughts

Very nice - I read the article with interest as I've just picked up a 530d. The article seems to suggest that there's not much noticable difference between a tuned 530d and a 535d - is this about right? Also, would you recommend the DMS tune?

btw - nice car!

The DMS tune is very worthwile. There is a noticeable difference between the 2 engines. Would I pay ?4K extra? I'm not sure.

Of course the written article is never quite what you actually say.
