I don't think there is much difference between the 530 and the 535.

I have heard people say to go for the auto box on the 535 (though that could be utter cobblers :cry:)

Their is a lot of difference and you dont get a manual 535d. WHy do people comment when they have no clue?

pm xr2i carl,,,,, im not totally sure but i belive he once drove one,,,,, though he doesnt like to talk about it much pmsl

:cry::cry::cry:

Ollie I wrote that post blatently with the tone I wasn't that sure what I was on about. It's not like I was trying to decieve him.

Please list me the differences between a 530d engine and a 535d engine then please. Note how I have been polite to you despite your childish rudeness to me.

If anyone took your advice based on your blatant vague-ness id be shocked :cry:

I believe the 530d is just a standard BMW diesel engine where the 535d is the multi-award winning twin turbo setup.

Here is a good article to explain further about the engine (and as a bonus it mentions the Sierra Cosworth at the beginning)

I was just throwing some points up for discussion to get the topic going.

One has twice as many turbo's as the other :cry:

yeah there ok repaired many of them!

What size are they in comparison?

One has an M57TU the other an M57TU TOP...

squential twin turbos are the obvious difference - there are a few more:

• Exhaust system
• Intake air control
• Pistons and connecting rods
• Camshafts
• Belt drive
• Reduced compression ratio
• Increased fuel injector cross section

• Digital diesel electronics DDE 606
