"The best diesel ever!!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing, as you would expect from a 10 month old car!

General comments?

Amazing, a diesel that is nearly as quick as the M5 (as proven onm top gear), the power is unbeliveble. It effortlessly crusies to 100mph in no time, perfect for motorway cruising. It offers excellent comfort and the latest technology as you'd expect with a BMW. It makes my old S4 look like a right whimp! Finally the i-drive system isn't as bad as many of recent reviews say its just a bit technical and I suppose can be a little fustrating at times, but despite this the car is absolutely PERFECT I can't wait to see what BMW will have one on offer in the near future.

So stick with BMW's lovely automatic and thr M sport pack is definately worth the money.

Nope, this is a 3.0 diesel twin turbo engine.

It was a 540i not an M5. An M5 would wee on it from a great height. It is a good though!!

Question: I am in the tricky process of choosing a new car. I think I have decided on the 520d, but thinking about the M Sport spec (not M5) but I will be doing a lot of miles - about 30k PA. Is the M sport suitable for a high mileage driver?

The car can handle high mileage with no problems, but watch out for low residual value - it will be difficult to sell except at a knock-down price.

Actually, I think Top Gear compared the 535D against the 545i.

I'd like a 535d, but I think I'd prefer the 335d.
