Oh no - I have a diesel

Yawn. I think the amount of time you spend talking about this says it all - you secretly wish you could find that sweet spot at 1750-2000 rpm.

Mmm...I prefer around 6000 - 6500 rpm personally.

Fixed that for you

Technically it's an excuse, not an alibi.

Fitting E63 and AMG badges would be an excuse ...

This thread will now be busted by the Anti-Petrol police and you will all be arrested, then made to name your friends and family members as coconspirators. Viva La Revolution!

Diesel > all

The op should feel honoured to be mistaken for a diesel driver.

No. I beg to differ.

The V8 petrol you had was a huge leviathan of BMW's garden shed division. Brilliant motor but not the pinnacle of BMW's petrol division.

There is no, and I mean no, top performance car available today on the market that is a diesel.

Petrol rules but stopping at filling stations is a killer.

Diesel has it's merits to the normal day-to-day driver and I am appreciating that again (having previously had a VW Golf IV 1.9 GT TDi) but I would swap my E220 for a E63 in a heartbeat if money was no object

I am a "normal" day to day driver. I drive a petrol powered car. I don't do diesel. Thank you.

I'm not slating petrol in any way, shape or form. Please accept this.

Although knowing the names of all the guys (you do make a good cuppa in the morning guys!) at the petrol station(s) on route to work is something I can live without...
