	Hi John Winstanley in warrington has the 525 tds. It's really smooth and pulls exceptionally well fro around 1800 rpm. I reckon it wouls see a 520i around the lanes. Cheers

	The way John drives it, it could 'see' a Testarrossa !! Col
2218.3	There is a 525 TD and a 525 TDS (Sport).	CMOTEC::POWELL	Nostalgia isn't what it used to be, is it?	`Mon Feb 07 1994 13:29`	5
	There are road tests of these two in DIESEL Car magazine in February and March issues, can't remember which way around though. I have the February issue at home. Malcolm. 8-) Smiling!
2218.4	BMW 525TDS	WARNUT::63739::winstanleyj		`Mon Apr 11 1994 19:04`	7
	Having driven the BMW525TDS for six months I can thoroughly reccomened it. It pulls much better than a 520i and is quiet when warmed up, 28/37 MPG is pretty good considering the way I drive! The downside is that the testtarossa is still a bit faster and doesnt sound like a tractor when starting from cold.
