Ya i am not looking to spend another $15k for basically the same car just a little faster. Like I said I will not drive it much and if I want to race around I can take my Mustang out.
Just wondering basically is everyone with an 04-05 530i happy with the power of the engine?
And what is LCI?

LCI is an LED upgrade in the headlights and taillights that bmw did in 07+
i dont care for LCI cars honestly
