Default S60 D5 - the old chestnut question sorry!
Sorry to ask this old chestnut question but I am still very new to the Forum after 10 years away.

S60 D5 - which bhp version to go for and is there really much difference?

Depends what ya after, 185 for some oomph but far from great on fuel, 168 for an all-rounder i believe....

I would agree the 185 goes quite well (although I think I will get mine remapped eventually) but isn't the easiest on fuel mixed driving. Smooth though, the 163 is still no slouch from memory.
