Well, the first road tests of this ?ber autobahn machine have come out, along with the first measured performance figures... Here's a sample where it's compared to a 545i:
OK, the 545i is shod with 18' tires and that's a disadvantage when compared to the 535d's 17' wheels, but look at that 0-100 kph (0-62mph) time!
Another magazine has measured:
- 0-100 : 6.7s
- 400m/1000m from a standstill: 14.8/26.6 !!
- 90 to 120 kph in Drive (no manual available): 3.4 seconds...
Average mileage 9.3l/100 km. This same magazine has measured the 530i to 12l and the 545i to 14.7l!
To give you an idea, the VX220 Turbo does 5.2s to 0-100, 13.5/25.0 to 400m/1000m and the 90-120 in third is exactly the same time...
Now, _that_ is a machine
