The track time for the 535d was mixing it up with petrol cars.

To be honest the top gear tracks not that good. The 350z got the same time as the RX8; which is hilarious as the 350z is a level above the RX8. around Angelsey its 2 seconds slower than the Z and at Virginia raceway its 7 seconds slower than the Z. The 535D is also 1.2 seconds slower than the Z around Hockenheim short according to fastest laps.

I always thought the strength of diesel was acceleration when remapped, its downfall was the weight and handling.
