Not asking for a specific choice, just personally experiences from owners of each car. How are you liking the cars? Any unexpected surprises (both good and bad)?

It is a shame you guys don't have the 'real' 535d (European model), then the comparison would be better balanced, IMO, like here in the UK. The 550i is such a scare model over here, as the diesel just makes so much more sense on all counts.

I'd personally compare the 535d (530d UK) to the 535i, that is what I did and opted for the 535i.

There is still something about a V8 which the diesels can't give us, but we all know that.
