Haha. But this is a diesel. I've driven the D5, I remember being less impressed than with the B7 (has a 5 series engine, so comparable).

Your comments reminded me of the new Audi S6. Forward to 2min.

Of course torque is very good at Singapore speeds but you will get smoked by the petrol Biturbos on the nshw.

Both D5 & B5 has 700nm torque.

Both 800Nm. Not 700.

Also, it's the way the torque is developed. Diesel pulls you hard very early but runs out of steam.

I drive 500NM diesel truck a lot of times.  It is quite scary when you slam throttle.

I almost "lost" tail when wet rainy day.

Driven many cars (including currently owned one) with more than 600Nm going to rear wheels. Easy to get the rear loose in the dry on moderately good tyres.

Weight is important. My 12C is lighter and the rear steps out more easily than my old F10 M5 (with more torque but also more weight).
