The 535d is the one to have, many argue is better than the M5

No, because I would have one if I could.

I've driven a 520dM and it was nice, much better than a 320d and a 120d that me and the mrs are rolling around in Devon at the mo.

As much as I love my Astra I would have one over it any day, I just won't get rid of the Astra. The 5 series is a lovely car to drive.

525d with a remap is 265bhp and 400lbft.

That's the better option ans it has a proper gearbox too.

You won't get more than 40mpg from any BMW diesel that isn't a brand new efficient dynamics model IMO.

Are they true readings or just the trip computer being fooled/over reading?

After test driving the M5 myself, I would happily argue that too.
For every day use, the M5 struggles to make sense because power is far too high up in rev range.

I find it funny that people want good mpg, but don't mind losing thousands over a year in deprication.

your not planning enough imo (aimed at most of the people in the world)

Sorry Matty

I know what you mean though, they'll be driving down a flat motorway at 60, reset the computer, get 80mpg then post it on the internet.
