At first I was sure it would be 525d version, but after analysis of pricing, I noticed that version 520d is about ~ 6500 Euro cheaper (price in my country). 6500 Euro = automatic gearbox, leather and half professional navigation

Is it worth to pay extra?
Performance/Acceleration 0-100:
2.0d 184HP| 8.1 sec
3.0d 204HP| 7.2 sec
this is "only" 0,9 sec. Top speed doesn't interest me
------------------------
and my Volvo 2.4d 185HP| 8.6 sec
------------------------

Now I am happy with the performance, but...

I will add yet that I would like have very good facilities in the BMW (+ ~ 30 000 Euro)


I'm waiting for your opinions.
Thanks
Welcome. The 525d has far less vibration - this is the key difference!
