People has different priorities. First thing is , fuel is a recurring cost that can add up rather seriously of one covers a lot of KM per month and per year.The other problem some people have is refuelling too often. Some people just hated going to the gas station. Not the money but time wasted not moving, now you are talking about at least twice more frequent using gasoline compare to diesel.When I was in the States driving a Chevy sedan compared to Toyota Camry means HALF the  number of visits to the gas station each week. Hey, my company was paying for the fuel then, but it was my time to fill up the Chevy, my life was rather different after the Camry since I got more time for family and shopping centres rather than waiting in the gas station!. Or , I could do a carwash with the refuel run....But the kicker for the 530d must be the enomous torque it generates. This would make the 530i feel like a 520i during acceleration, although the 330i does  0-100 kph in a tenth a second quicker!.  NOw, we are talking about standard BMW turbo-diesel boost levels here, if one can hold boost for another 3 psi more, that 530d becomes very letal  indeed!. (by changing the Bosch re-circ valve to a higher tensioned one, just like what the Audi boys are doing)Easy to get 250HP instead of 205 stock!. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" />k:</blockquote>
