also this might be a hard car to sell later.....
high price due to the electronic gadgets, but yet, with no offence "the small engine for such class".... just MHO
not to say that the 523 would not drive good but within this price range people prefer like 525d or 530i/d ???

Well, 523i is still a L6, right? Not much difference compared with 525i, right? So... Let the man, enjoy his BMW, don't ruin his day. 523i is still an E60, regardless of what others may think.
