I think AC exhaust and Hamann exhaust are at 2 extremes, AC is too subtle, Hamann is too aggressive....

To my understanding, the rear bumper M-kit has a cover, which can be taken off, if we cut on that piece, wouldn't be a problem....

Did you guys go to the E90 show? There is a E60 545i with 19" ACS Type IV wheel & M Tech Kit in Jet Black. Looks so good. But just wonder why it is in LHD?!

How do you guys think about the E90? I think it is too expensive.

And the new 523i is not cheap too, almost the same price of the outgoing 525i. Isn't the 523i will be the "entry" level model since they are not making the 520i anymore?

So hard to decide........523i = 330i price.....
325i + Comfort Acccess + Bi-Xenon = 330i = 523i......

arrrr....

it really depends on what you want and need. for me, i'd definitely go for a 523i .

I'd go with the 523i. Being owner of a 520i, its power is not bad. If the new engine gets a couple more hundred cc's, its performance should come real close to a 525i. And my 520i has same equipments (except wheel style/size) as the 525i. It's a good value in my opinion.

Speaking of M-tech aero kit, mine is installed :-) Looks good. Will take some pics after the car is washed tomorrow. BTW I asked them why such a big price difference in installation labor costs and BMW service centre told me third party bodypart installers may be able to match the color of your car precisely and they dont often do not put enough primer before spray on the color paint making the finish look somewhat "ugly". Just FYI for those who are considering.

Cheers
