[quote/] haha, it makes me laugh that you guys care so much. do you know me? why would anyone think that i have to prove to a bunch of internet people that my car, which you couldn't identify, is justifiably a better purchase than any other E60? the general idea of this thread was to compare weight vs power in the E60s. your garbage inputs about me, who you do not know, contribute none at all.that being said, thanks PlanB for the useful input. i actually test drove the 2010 535i right after i test drove my current 530i and the power difference felt marginal. that is actually what prompted me to investigate the weight/power, since i knew the 535i was actually rated with more power.

For starters do you even really own a E60? No pics on your signature or links. But hey I digress. No one cares that keep trying to justify your purchase but is obvious to several on here. This fact has been pointed out on more then one thread by other members. See a pattern? If you don't see that you truly are in denial. Secondly, who gives a shit what the 0-60 times are between these cars? You are consumed with that in this thread and keep pointing out the 2010 535i felt only marginally faster then then the 07 530i. You want a true 0-60 car you should have bought an M5 or M3. I doubt most of the E60 owners in this forum bought their particular flavor based on just claimed 0-60 times. Some wanted the feel of the V-8 550i, some wanted the turbo 535i, while others opted for 530i, 528i or 525i. Some made choice pre LCI vs LCI cars. Bottom line, they are all good cars and have their merits and pros and cons. Whatever car fits that person I say buy it. The only garbage input in this forum is your continued blathering and nonsense about why you bought the 530i over the 535i because in "your opinion" for the umpteenth time the 535i was not much faster. Yada yada yada---- WHO CARES???????????? No one does. Be happy with your 530i and move on. This thread is laughable :thumbsdown:

Denial? If you actually read the thread you will see it started out as a very calmly written weight vs power discussion. I even said a few times i did not intend to offend anyone and make them think their car was not fast. But i began getting defensive when people started misquoting me trying to tell me why i posted this thread. Bad form.
Yeah, i dont own an E60. That is why i am "trying to justify my purchase" of one. Nice contradiction.
No pic in my sig, heh, kind of funny. I guess to your disbelief, i really do not feel like i need to justify or show off my car to people on the internet. I do not mind if others do, i am just not compelled to do it.
Yeah i know, i was goofing with you also.
