Ever since the appearance of E60 5-series, there have been totally nine different versions of it. If all nine versions exist in the market currently, and you could choose again or buy your next one, which one would you get? Of course, you have to take their respective prices into consideration.
The nine versions are:
M5(5.0L V10, 500hp)
550i(4.8L V8, 360hp)
545i(4.4L V8, 325hp)
535i(3.0L I6 + TT, est 300hp)
530i(3.0L I6, 255hp) *2005-2007
530i(3.0L I6, 225hp) *2004
528i(3.0L I6, 230hp)
525i(3.0L I6, 215hp) *2005-2007
525i(3.0L I6, 184hp) *2004
I would choose 535i.

I would choose the 2008 530i. Oh, wait! BMW says we here in America are not worthy of this iteration.

Yeah sorry I only took U.S. market into consideration. I am not familiar with other markets. I wish 535d could come to the U.S. also.
With 172 style 19inch alloys. In silver with black leather.
Ordered one - due in two weeks!!
If money were no object then an m5, or maybe the new 535i twin turbo if i really wanted a petrol one...
