After reading so much comments about 530 vs 525, I feel happy with mine now.

I have a 525i and I love it.? I test drove both the 525 and 530.? In normal driving there isn't much difference between the 2.? The 530 is a little more quiet b/c it doesn't have to work as hard as the smaller engine.
As far as the sports package, I didn't get it on my 525i.? W/o the sport package the ride is much softer and is more luxurious in feel...probably due to the 16inch wheels.? Any way I love my 525i and don't have any regrets...maybe thats b/c I also have an M3 when I feel like driving a little more agressive.?![Devil](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/devil.gif)

You can have a chip installed just for a bit more power...doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

I bought a 525i with the Sports Package and like it very much. All things considered, I would have preferred a 530i with the Sports Package, but the dealer wanted US$5K more for the 530i. Since most of my driving is in city traffic, I couldn't justify the extra money.
The Sports Package is definitely worth the cost, in my opinion. I'd rather have the 525i with the Sports Package than the 530i without it.
