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).
- 2.6 tonnes of co2
Soul-
So the M5 produces 2 whole more tonnes of lovely life-giving CO2 (ask any plant, it’s not a sodding pollutant) but 2.36 fewer KGs of definitely carcinogenic and noxious NOx and particulates.
Yep, no question it’s a greener car. Not that I give a crap really :-)

Blah blah blah.
Your point in invalid because look at Dammit carbon footprint for all those flights. Also you have no soul. The sound of v8, v10 and v12 are lovely...straight4 pots don't sound the same.

French ones more than other from same era?

M5 because M5
Not 535d because filthy diesel.
