Interesting! Share the video man, haha joking
I guess its the engine upgrade from N to B right. Maybe 535d has more tuning potential
On paper it does, downpipe & a tune with the 35d/40d gets you more power on the dyno compared to even the B57 single turbo with a downpipe & tune.

Dyno figures are not everything though. Just like feeling or having a sense of something is not always the case, my bike feels faster than it actually is due to the noise & commotion and the fact that it revs high and its a bike so you're feeling a lot more wind etc.

1 more question guys, is the g32 630d very similar to the 530d?
As in the quality, drive, how it handles etc

I stand to be corrected, but I think the G32 had air suspension. When I watched some youtube reviews of the 630d, it did not seem to handle well around bends. Looked like a lot of body roll.
I think the G30 will be more nimble and offer a sportier drive over the G32. I have not driven a G32 though, this is based off the reviews and what I have seen.

Thanks man. You right on the air suspension however it was an option. Bmw Fourways recently had 1 for sale and the salesperson noted that one didn't have air suspension as it was specced that way

Ahh, I see that self leveling rear suspension is standard and air suspension on the front is an optional extra.
Same as the F07 (5 series GT).
