Next time he needs to do a real test, drop 2-3 gears with paddles and stomp it.

It's all anecdotal. Like I said in the other thread carwow also brokers car deals. They don't want to show the e class as losing in all categories so they found a situation where someone who doesn't know how to flick a gear knob into sport could lose a rolling pointless drag race in their 2 litre diesel.

Merc is faster on paper and the g30 was made after that so clearly Bmw intentionally didn't make the 520d go faster. The market for hat car isn't the exec who wants to drag race...

Who cares about two little diesel's drag time? People buy these cars are into fuel economy while driving in style.

No It wouldn't have. Sport mode does not increase power, just how far you have to press the accelerator. If you floor it it will go as fast is Comfort mode, as in Sport mode.

The response is quicker initially and the revs would go higher before gear changes right?
