So that would mean the 6.6 secs to 100 is even more strange....weird, because Sportauto is such a good mag....

6.6s 0-100 is only because of hot temperature and bad conditions i think.
Here is the test conditions:

temperature:27 degrees
Asphalt temperature:44 degress
Air pressure:1024 mbar

I'm much more impressed by the 535d beating the 545i on track. Diesel has the natural disadvantage there due to weight and narrower efficient rpm-range.
