• £12,000 80,000 mile E61 M Sport Touring vs £22,000 80,000 mile E61 M5 Touring.

    Which one, why?

  • M5 because M5

    Not 535d because filthy diesel.

    This. Also, M5 because V10.

  • Only just seen this...

    I love the forum logic. 535d is dirty so buy a v10 petrol....!

    According to nextgreencar.com the following would be annual emissions based on 5k miles:

    535d

    • 2.6 tonnes of co2
    • 5.78 Kg (yes kilograms) of NOx+PMs

    M5

    • 4.36 tonnes of co2
    • 3.42 Kg of NOx+PMs

    In reality, the v10 M5 is a much higher pollutant than the 535d would ever be.

    Sure, a 20 yr old French diesel will pump out some nasty shit but a euro5 or euro6 diesel will actually produce similar results to the equivalent petrol engine (the v10 is not equivalent).
