I'm waiting for the US to import the diesel version - they told me next calendar year. I'd be interested in your experiences as you get some miles on the thing, including real life economy. The 20" wheels will likely wear out faster than the stock 18". I've generally been happy with the Pirelli tires I've owned in the past, but have not used that model, so can't comment. I'm going to drive the 535 version tomorrow (I drove the 8-cylender version when it made it to the US in December) as a closer approximation of the power available from the 530d. The torque of the 530d and the low rpm on cruise should be a real treat on a long trip (which are more common in the USA for most).
