Difference in power will be significant across the board especially when moving from a diesel.
If you have never driven a V8 then you are about to spoil yourself. There is power regardless of revs and speed; you will notice a HUGE difference.
My tip would be get used to the M settings on the car. Drive around with everything set to low which will feel a little like your 520d.
When you set everything to max (M2 on mine) then its a different car again.
Find a large car park at night with nothing to hit and floor it when all is set to max so you can understand the power available in that setting.
