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.?

I have 525i as well and honestly have no regrets! I completely agree with you as far as ride being different between 525i and 530i. 525i w/o sport package and with 16" wheels feels much better. Too bad that 17" was an option for 04.

JiMmY,

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

I think that's a good idea for the 530 as well.

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.

I agree with all these posts. Better for the 525 with sport package than the 530 without. You can use the better handling, but unfortunately here in the US you cannot use that extra HP!

Enjoy your ride!
