I don't think it really matters - 530i is not the fastest or most powerful car out there, but you bought it not because you wanted the fastest and most powerful - right? You'll be able to kill some, some will kill you, but if you think about it - 530i was never meant to be a racer - it is a family sport sedan. And it does its job rather well.

A4 with a slow, heavy adult. Would be a good start, given that it have a 2.0T engine. Not sure about the 3.0 ones 
Back to the topic: you can also race civics type r, seat leons cupra, golf 5 gti and many more.
Audi is a good start to try to math the car. Be sure not to hit anything bigger than the 3 liter engines. You can try a a8 4.2 but not too much chance.
I for one wana race mercs (of course not amgs) maybe a c 32 amg just to see the outcome, AND also wana race my top hunting list, a mazda rx-8. Also a race with a 350z is nice although i know the z will win. Maybe after an ecu remap...

I reckon you could easily outrun one of those police cars with the flashing blue lights. You could try it next time you pull up alongside one at traffic lights.

Why don't you just enjoy your new ride and stop worring about who you can smoke off the line. You purchased one hell of an automobile. Drive it and enjoy it.
