We've just had 3 brand spankers 530D twin-turbo saloons delivered.......and WOW  All tip-tronic 8 speed autos & by God they can shift!!! Especially when the Sport mode is depressed  They hold the road like glue, they're comfy and somewhat economical too.

Just hope they are more reliable than the older Tourers that we are getting shut of.

Fantastic engine.  It takes something pretty damn quick to beat them off the lights and they pull like a train. Overtaking is quicker and safer with so much torque. 
Very economical for a large lump as well.
