Torque is irrelevant to performance.
The most ridiculous statement of the thread (so far).
Model 0-62 peak power peak torque
520D 7.9 140 400
520i 7.9 135 270
528i 6.2 180 350
Now explain how the 528i with _less_ torque than the 520D is so much
faster. And the two 520s match.
Well, the two 520s are Diesels, and don't have the RPM range that the Petrol 528 has; they are governed to 4000 RPM.
ITYM 4500. I have that diesel in my freelander
Ah. A Freelander. Explains why you don't understand performance.
