Personally, I would go for the 525 unless the incremental power is a big deal to you.

Bimmeroc:

Since you already own a Boxster and a 911 , I dont think you'd be happy with a 525i . I do think you should go for the 530i or a 545i .

I also chose a 530i over the 525 due to the more torque the car has. But you need the xenons so if you can't get a 530 with xenons I would go for the 525

I too would go for the 530i. The standard wheel choices are bigger and better designs...imo. Good luck!

My Ride: e60 530i - SOLD!

the ultimate e60 is 545i.. so the answer should be 530i but xenon is a must.

HUD is good for the M5 coz you don't want to take your eyes off the road when you are rocketing dealing with the Gs.
