I wish that we could get this car State-side.

I have driven a 2002 530d in Germany and found it to be a very nice ride.

Wow, jawdropping performance from a diesel engine... Variable Twin turbos, more torque than the M5... sign me up.

I have noticed the numbers on deisel engines have been increasing pretty rapidly over the years! I read an article comparing some of Mercede's new deisels vs. their gasoline counter-parts and the deisel engines actually outperformed the gasoline engines! I would LOVE to import a new 535d to the US!
