I reckon he can stick a sticker on the bumper saying "You have just been overtaken by 'n diesel !". Damn that thing is impresive :thumbs:.

That's impressive for a vehicle with an agricultural engine.

Have you ever driven a "modern" diesel or only heard them when they were pulling away from you? They are a far cry from being "agricultural".

Well with one next to me in traffic it usually sounds like this: krrrrrrrrrrrr...stttttttttttt...stttttttttttttt....sttttttttttttt :rollsmile:

I have to admit, that makes me somewhat moist.....

As to the nay sayers, seriously go a drive a modern day diesel.

Ok challange here...

Hands up from the guys who have owned a post 2000 diesel, and give us a +1 or -1 if you liked or disliked your diesel...

+111 (I have owned 3 diesels, 1 merc and 2 bmw's) and their epicness overwhelms me....

Interesting that the driver had DSC off and used manual. I think the car would be quicker if he would have left it in sports auto.

It's in 'Sport +' mode, stiffens the suspension right up and tweaks the drive trains performance, my 535d does the same, DSC switches of partially. Throttle respose becomes razor sharp too.

The display very clearly says the car was in manual, and you could see the driver shifting in the reflection of the speedo.

I said "agricultural" with tongue firmly in cheek.:flyfun:

+111 (530d, X5 3.0d, 330d).

Unless it's a ///M car, I don't think I'd buy a petrol again.

The moment you touch the 'gearbox paddles' it shows 'M?' in the display... Its a 8 Speed sport Automatic. My car has the same.
