It's a good move by BMW, especially since others in the same class doesn't offer a diesel.

30d installation in the G30 body is so well isolated that mechanical noise and vibration is genuinely never an issue. Improved over F10, which itself was quieter than E60. It makes a genuinely likeable sort of faint woofly roar under wider throttle openings and just fades into the background the rest of the time.

BMW 540d USA
I have gone through the specs of the new 540d, that will be sold in the US.
It has the same engine as the European 530d, but some how the 0-60 time is being stated as 4.5 secs, whereas the European motor does that in 5.4 secs. The online configurator is now available on BMWUSA.com. Just got an update from BMW, I have reported this to them, they have confirmed that it is an error, they are correcting this on their website now. 2/1/2018 Last edited by aghanta; 02-01-2018 at 01:12 PM..

Curious of this as well as BMW has historically been conservative with their output/performance numbers. If 4.5 is accurate, link to build https://www.bmwusa.com/byo.html#!/bu...orlds/djvca68x |

I get why people buy this diesel car when they drive a huge amount (economy, although even that isn't obvious), but why would anyone else consider it? It's more expensive than the 540i, but accelerates slower. How is the extra torque a benefit if the car still accelerates slower?

In practice high torque makes a car "feel" powerful and effortless even if the 540i next to it would beat it to the 1/4 mile every time. If youve not experienced it itd be certainly worth a test drive.

I was asking for reasons not related to economy. Even the economy part isn't obvious because the car itself is more expensive (in the US), and diesel is actually more expensive than premium for many. For example, in California, which is the most populous state in the US, diesel is more expensive than premium.
