Driven both, definitely the 530i is more responsive. But It all comes down to what YOU like the most. So test drive them both.

My Ride: 2007 530i Alpine White with Navi and Premium PackageIn progress: OEM Mtech kit, H&R Sport Springs, and 19
the few extra bells and whistles are cool on the 528 but like others I would say go with the 530i...
I was excited when I got back in my 530 after a 528 loaner

I think the 2007 530i is cheaper than the 2008 528i. I would suggest to get the 530i for power and with the differencei n money, upgrade to LCI healight and Tail. Or BETTER, use the money difference to Mod your car (M-kit, exhaust, rims) any will be well worth it IMHO.
GL with the decision. And as someone previously said, Either way, you ll love your E60 Welcome aboard

Thanks a ton guys! I'll really have to sit in and drive a 530i. Just by looking at the interior it seems like the window placement would be a pain to live with. I'm trying to find a 2008 535i but it seems like their hard to come by.

Can someone explain to me what LCI stands for? I just bought a 2007 530xi, I pick it up tomorrow actually.
I think the differences that I know are the shifter and the LED rear lights.
