Ive had a 730D on the r/bouts of the A34 no trouble. Couldnt gain no him on the straights though. Would be close I reckon and entirely dependant on track.
At Ty Croes the 182 would have it, but elsewhere?....
730 is A. sh*tload heavier than a 5 series. B. although it handles well for what it is its a large executive motorway muncher not a sports saloon with a fair amount of focus so i dont see how you can compare the two. Remember alot of 7 series owners will be driven not driving themselves.
Ive driven both the current 7 and current 5 and there is a big difference.
They are both the 3.0ltr lump..the 535 just has the twin-turbo setup but displacement remains the same..Quote: Originally posted by Swervin_Mervin on 17 June 2005
Thats what Im saying though. My valver kept pace with a 730 on the straights. Should be comparable to a 182 vs a 530.
BUT, the 730 I raced prolly had the 3L lump and not the 3.5. A 535D would be an interesting contest with a 182 I reckon.

The BMW would win as yoz2a,s cam belt would snap or he would lose it on the bend

I think it would be even-stevens all told, but if youre talking performance per pound then the arguemt is already won

BMs torque and RWD would get it round quicker.
