Yes, diesel has more torque and horsepower and for those of you that appreciate this I salute you. For me, that would mean more speeding tickets. The 535 was more power than I needed so I'm waiting for delivery of a 528x drive. Also, when I priced out the 535d it had a price tag of +$12,000.
The 528 will get close to the MPG of the 535d and this was a major selling point for me. Have the 4 banger X3 and find it to have more than enough horses and torque.
Great choice folks!
