530i or 530d ?

If the 530i has 500Nm then the 530d must have 650, which I doubt somehow!

Cool

Guess that's the 530d. It has 369ft/lbs of torque which is about 500Nm. Same as the E39 M5! Nice!

I drove a friends 530D recently, the torque is amazing, a completely different driving experience to a Scooby, and one I could possibly get used to. The one I drove had all the toys, I couldn't afford that.

Was taken for a drive in a new 530d the other day, was being dropped to collect my mates new Cooper S by the salesman, the diesel beemer is an absolute animal, the best diesel money can buy IMHO.

Thumbs up

I've had the plesure in going out in a 530D (with some blue lights on the roof of it ) and I was amazed by the performance of the car, the torque was stunning!

If I was in the market for a car of that size/style then I would not hesitate!
