Really? Last time I checked bmw measured at the crank too... hence ~340 to 350 at the wheels of a 394HP BMW. and 150 to 155 at the wheels of a 163 "BMW"

I'm just saying if the price of the 530 or whatever it will be called increases, wouldn't it make much more sense just to buy the 545....the price difference of the current 530 and 545 is already pretty small.....maybe the 545 will appreciate in a couple of years.

Where did you check? I could be wrong! This was explained to me by a salesman who had worked for BMW in Europe. He could have been BS'ing me. Let me know.
