i think the snickering here is based on the fact that to get a job done, you use the right tool and 528i is not the right tool in the situation u described. sorry dude.

+1000. Case in point, my 525i can beat the snot out of my wife's Sienna with the kids in MY car.

If I were to get anything other than a BMW, it would be an Audi. I think the Quattro is a big advantage over the non X-drive BMWs (at least BMW is not getting on the bandwagon with more X-drive models). It used to be that the ONLY advantage the S4 has over an M3 was the Quattro. but now, the M3 is head and shoulders above the S4.

Well, that's what happens when you bring a knife to a gun fight. Granted, you got a very nice knife (i.e., 528). But...

i love how all the haters on this thread just keep talking sht about the 528i. i dont even bother responding to the guys that say "i lost you at 528i and sht". if you guys are so confident in your car ill race you with my 528i on the track. a dog can press on the pedal and test 0-60 times and 1/4 mile times. it takes a real man to drive a track and talk sh*t afterwords.
