So annoying. First it is, then it isn't. My local dealer even had a bulletin on it too. I should have asked for a copy but I didn't think there would be a U turn. I really had my heart set on one of these.

Political sounds are against diesels. I think we'll get more hybrids now. Just want them to be a little more efficient.

Indeed, but then we aren't getting the M550i either!

I guess the 540d is price/performance wise the better option. With the M-sport package there is visually also not much difference. |

Interesting that the 525d has the best fuel economy and that the only 6 cylinder with rwd is the 530d.
I think I'd prefer a car with 2 turbos to keep out of warranty than the 4 turbo 550d though. I suspect the 540d with a tune or the Alpina D5 will be a more reliable choice |
