My M-sport 2014 535d puts down 320hp and 500 ft lbs of torque. Fuel Consumption is 38mpg on the info display, commuting. AC Schnitzer springs and H&R sway bars fixed the boat-sized feel of the 5er. The diesel doesn't sound like my N54, nor does it beg me to step on the throttle. But commute-wise, that's a plus - I don't need more tickets. And when I do step on it, the thing takes off.

If you are after MPG, BMW diesels are awesome. Plenty of them in the 3er size ... just sayin' ...

p.s. My E89 gets about 9-10mpg. Hard to keep the foot out of it, and with all the tune mojo it loves its fuel!
