yes the engine revs so low, it really makes seem effortless. I don't find you have to rev it much at in most conditions. At 70mph the 530d is turning over at 1500RPM. Compared to my previous E39 530i which was about 2500RPM I recall (or thereabouts)
I find that the diesel seem to promote a more relaxed driving style for me. It certianly doesn't feel fast but then that is probably a sign of a good car that fast speeds don't feel like it.
