520d Mistake? or Triamph?

Hey guys...

Im a bmw forum virgin so take it easy on me...

I just wanted to ask your opinions on something since you all seem to know everything there is about bmw's..lool


ive recently ordered a brand new 520d (2009) and was wondering what you guys think?...its my first bmw !

isit super slow (2liter single turbo) (177bhp) (Automatic).....would i be beaten of the line by almost EVERYTHING?

what are the negatives and positives (other than 55 mpg) of this car....i got it in alpine white and "MODEL DELETION" was the first option i choose lool..


many thanks in advanced guys

I don't really know anything about the model as I don't belive we have that engine in the states. 55mpg sounds great especially with how expensive gas is where you're at, but 177bhp! ouch!

I have a 520d but manual, i can tell you that is verz good. in highways feel good to go at 200km/h and do about 8L/100km, i dont know in mpg
I can do with one diesel tank about 1300km in city and highways.
Is not like an M5 but is very good to drive. and if you want you can remap from 177hp to 210hp or 230hp. in reprises it can be faster than petrol engines
