My Ride: Expected delivery on 15 Jan 2007 525I Olivian Green, Beige Interior, PP, CWP, PDC, SP, Rear shades,heated rear seats, Ipod fitted, Nav, Oem Rims 166, Xenon Lights, Wood grain package, illuminated door sills
First off let me say thanks to everyone for all of your insite and help. 
Now I just recently went over my 1200 miles for the break-in period, and I know everyone says that the 525's 215hp isnt enough, but im here to tell you that overhere in Germany, thats plenty. I have had my car up to 110mph, and it constantly wants more (Driving in Drive Sport). And the way that it handles is like a top. I almost anticipates your everymove, and the multi-contour seats make for a race like driving feel, they hug you and keep you still when bending a corner at 70mph. Now I know that there are more powerful 5's out there, but if they are stronger thatn this 525 "I DONT NEED THEM, THAT TROUBLE WAITING TO HAPPEN"

My Ride: My ex-ride: EU '08 LCI 520dA. Space Grey, Sport Seats in Black Leather/Fabric Anthracite, Sport Steering Wheel, A/C with Extended Features, Hi-Fi Speakers, Cup Holders, Cruise with Braking function, Folding Rear Seats, Xenons, Park Distance Control.
The 525i is a really nice car, great actually.
In a country like Finland where the freeway limit is 120 km/h (75 mph)
so the top cruising speed is around 90 mph (140 km/h) to keep the licence,
the 525i is fast enough for everyday driving.
Also the environment likes the smaller R6's better than the V8's.

I was considering waiting for the 535 series to come out, primarily because of the TT engine. Well, on my first trip with the 530, I struggled to keep my speed below 75 mph. At one point after passing a tractor trailer, i looked down, and I was going just a touch over 100. The car is so stable at speed, you just have to watch the speedo or use the speed control. Well, I now have confirmed for myself the lack of need for the TT
