And if Europe didn't allow itself to be bullied by leftist "the workers control the means of production" types and the "if we all committed suicide the planet would be much cleaner" types things might be very different.:confused2

LOL , well written
In my country the 535d is some 6 or 7000 euros more expensive compared to a 535i, with equal performance.
OK mpg is better with a 535d, but me doing only 20,000kms(12.5k miles) a year, I 'd better drive a petrol than a dieselcar....
