.. and we can complicate matters even more.
In Europe, we get the 525i, with the 3.0 lit 218 bhp, and the 530i 272 bhp. But not the 528.... and especially not the 535! ![Frown](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/sad.gif)

To everyone that gave me input on the 528i vs 530i, I want to thank you! Your posts have helped me significantly in deciding to stick to my original decision, the 538i M Sport and modding it out!
I really wish the 535i M Sport was available in Korea, but alas... NOT!
The 528i till the F10 M5 comes out!
Thanks again everyone!

Now that your decided, Pick your mods! Hoped i helped you out on the pm's, good luck David!
You were a huge help! I didn't know that on the standard Remus Quad set up, the right side pipe was a virtual dummy. When my car arrives (god knows when), I'll talk to the shop I deal with to install 2 mufflers with an x-pipe! Thanks!

If my choice was between a 218 hp 525i and a 572 hp 530i, I'd get the 530i without thinking! ![Happy](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/happy.gif)

Well, I only went for the 272 bhp not the 572 bhp... a bit too much for me

Dude, the guy is in Korea. It's either a 270 HP 530 or a 230 HP 528. They don't sell the 535 there or he'd probably already have one since the price difference there between the 528 and 530 is about what is is here between the 528 and the 535.

Same thing here. If the 535i was available in Europe, I would already have one.

I'm hoping that this is just a 'phase' I'm going through because my car is taking so f***ing long to arrive!

I'm in love with the N54 twin turbo engine!
However, the only BMW available in Korea with that engine is the 335i M Sport. I'm once again torn! Do I go for the smaller 3er just for the engine (+70bhp and +100lb-ft of torque is a huge gain) or do I stick with the 528i M Sport? I know I'm being wishy washy but 'DrLev99' has me in a mental fit again!
