If you look at it from a pure spreadsheet perspective, you may be right. There might not be a compelling financial argument unless you drive a lot of miles.

However, the ability to go 600 miles on a tank, i.e. fewer fill ups, has its appeal.

So, does anybody know if the Euro 535d is simply a boosted version of the 535d offered in the US? Are there other major engine changes?

EDIT: Never mind. The US version is the 530d the rest of the world gets. Single turbo. Thread below explains the differences. I guess the question is, how tuneable is the 530d?
