Pardon my neglect:

Welcome to the forum, Rancor! Thank you for the previous kind words about me and my blog. I'm glad some are finding it helpful. Feel free to e-mail or PM me if you have any questions. I don't pretend to be an expert, but I'm always happy to weigh in with an opinion

I understand your reasons for the diesel. I wish I could provide some kind of guidence regarding the 640d. I have compared the 550i to the 650i back to back, and there was definitely a difference. Straight line acceleration may be similar, but the way the cars handle and feel are night and day. I'd imagine that the 535d and the 640d would show a similar relationship to their petrol cousins.
