Your next 5 series - petrol or diesel ?

I know this is going to be about G30 cars but I'm asking UK members so would rather stick it here.

I think it's likely I'll order a new 5 series in about 6 months to a year, if the car is as good as it sounds when I get to test drive one.

But I'm torn between the 540i and 530d (both X-Drive). They're virtually the same price. If a 540d is added to the range, it will be quite a bit dearer and I don't think I need more than the 540i and 530d will give.

I'm leaning heavily towards the 540i, but it will be interesting to see just how quiet the 3 litre diesel is in the heavily soundproofed G30 engine bay.

You ?
