My Ride: 520d M-sport - Steptronic - Carbon Black - Auburn Leather - Mem Seat - Cup Holders - Nav Pro - Light Pack - Dim/folding mirrors - Adv Airco - PDC - Aux/in - Non-smoke pack - De-badged - Delivery Mar 31, 2006
go for the power 530i - watch it: M-sports package will be pretty hard for quality of US roads - so get the awsome looking aero kit witwith std suspension

My Ride: 2005 525i Titanium Silver Metalic and 2003 325xi Jet Black with the Premium Package in both cars.
I'll vote 525 sport, but utimately the big decision is going to be yours.

Do you like curves more or do you like straightaways more?
Get the 525 Sport if you prefer curves.
Get the 530 if you prefer straightaways.

surely there isn't a difference in handling between the 525i or 530i as its the same engine?
