Yes it's a diesel...

TycoonGTR's E60 BMW 530d from GermanCarZone.com with limiter removed. He also has a 535d, imagine what that thing can do. Screw hybrids.

eh, who here can't go 150mph while getting some obscure fuel consumption in units i can't read but looks like 17mpg but i know is not (i think)?

17l/100km, I believe.

Wow.  My car does 3500 RPM at 60mph in 5th!

Wish I had a decent motorway cruiser...

17l/100km, I believe.

Isn't that really bad?

17L/3.78 = 4.5 US gallons
100Km/1.61 = 62 Miles



62 miles/ 4.5 Gallons
= 13.8mpg!

The crazy thing to think about is what the gearing setup looks like to be turning 3500RPM at that speed...

Bah, i would've expected better from a diesel...
Still, not bad considering it's going about 150 mph.

I believe he has it tuned as well. I know his 535d has some massive tuning done to it.

That's the first thing I noticed too...
