it seems to be about 1200 rpm before the diesel overtakes the petrol version of the 3.0 litre in torque. At low idle the diesel has much less torque.

I thought that the 35d had more torque right across the board? at least going by the graphs that bmw publish for the two engines anyway
looking at them now, the 35d has made 400nm by about 1,050rpm maybe 1,100 and by around 1,350rpm where the petrol is at peak of 400, the diesel is somewhere between 500 and 550
below 1,000rpm I have no idea as their graphs only start at 1,000 but I do know that if I was to purposely try and keep the rpm below 1,000 driving almost any roughly comparable vehicle, I would be accelerating rather slowly and attracting a fair bit of horn honking
as soon as I press the pedal, my tacho instantly rises well over 1,000rpm
