My Ride: 2005 530i JETBLACK/BLACK DAKOTA, COLD WEATHER PKG, PREMIUM PKG, ADAPTIVE XENON HEADLIGHTS, AUTO TRANSMISSION WITH 6 SPEED STEPTRONIC, BLUETOOTH SETUP,SAT SETUP AND WIFE AS CO-PILOT
initially for me .. i chose the 5 for its size family man needs a family car at the time one on the way... so i knew that a 3 wouldnt work...dont car much about speed.. im exposed to it all the time.. but i did not want anything too slow. i wanted decent horse power so i have the 530.......with my observation..... i see as many 3 series out on the road as i do toyota camry....so..nah! anyways with hopes that my wife would be driving the 5... she was more terrified so she only drove it 2 times.. so we bought a x5 for her...eric

Strange, but true.
Rated numbers though are:
330i6 0-60 mph in 6.1
530i6 0-60 mph in 6.4
Not sure about the Steptronic

The E46 was a oldly but no goodie.
The new E90 looks just like a old lady and the new E92 is not yet available.
PS. What is wrong with the E90 rear axle design?
Seems like the rear wheels was forgotten into the trunk???

mullman's right. Here's an interesting fact:
BMW 530iA 0-60 mph in 6.6
Toyota Camry SE 0-60 mph in 6.5
I think now is the time for another engine update
