Thanks ! They look awsome.. so does the rest of the car.. are you enjoying the car ?? I?m getting an E61 525D this month, so I?m also interest in some feedback?s from 525 owners .. now that you have the car, do you feel you should have bought the 530 ? thanks

Hey 525DTouring - I took delivery of a 525d Sedan this week and so far I haven't regretted one second not buying a 530!!! I owned a 330Cic before this one, so I was really afraid that I wouldn't like the performance of the 2.5d, but I was pleasantly surprised when I felt the power of this engine. It really puls hard at low RPM so you get the feeling that it is not accelerating that fast until you look at the cars that you overtake. Really amazing!

I love it. I test drove the 525i first and have not regretted it. I ordered the car with lots of options and just couldn't spend any more on the 530. Ideally, I would have gotten the 530, but I just felt like the 525 still had plenty of "get up and go" (and surprisingly, it really does). The car accelerates just fine (especially in Sport mode) and on the freeway, it's up to 85 before I even realize it.

You may want to get the 530 though for an E61. I'm guessing you'll be carrying more weight more often. Just a thought. I still think a 525 would still work well. Just my two cents.

Thanks guys ! , seems I?m making the right choice !.. I?m really "turned" to the 525d because it seems to have a good engine, it?s a diesel and I can get a good optional list .. I don?t usually transport a lot of weight, just on vacations, so, that won?t be a problem..

Good choice. What specs are you ordering? You should list them in your signature.

I still think that these are worth the money ...

Hum.. They do look good, but for more 1200 euros, I rather have the 122 which are very very beautiful... I would only pay more for the M5 wheels.. .

P.S I?m listing my specs in this precise moment

I too went for 122 wheels, Much easier to clean and (in my opinion) better value at nearly a grand less) also, I love the 5 spoke "hotwheels" look
