im bias i hate MB my personal experience with my E55 sucked, I love the power of the E55 but its no where near as fun to drive as the 5 series with sport package (my previous 530i was not sport) but still was tons of fun.

530 has all the options ( Nav,IPOD,BT,HIDS Adaptive headlights,Night Vision,PDC,HUD,Sport seats,cold,Comfort and Premium) but the sport package...when i saw the wheels and the sport seats,i over looked that it didn't have the sport suspension

Since wife drives it,i am not too bothered about the sport suspension...However,the fender gaps do indeed bother me...i think i might just drop the car in few months..

Regarding driving impressions vs E55... Well there's no comparison at all ..530 is very smooth and comfortable but it's not as agile as my E55 not to mention the power..

To best describe the difference let me tell you how my wife feels about the E55 " She wants to know,why does E55 feels so heavy when she accelerates and how could she make BMW take off like the mercedes does ?

Personally i will not trade my E55 with any other car out there,period...

Sweet garage. I'm in Denmark with 200% registration tax; the government's slogan is "Buy three, get one" so I have my 535d wagon and the wife has a small Fiat. We have a caravan parked at the end of the house. I've lived in the States before and want to live there again. Then there'll be a 911, a 5-series, a 4-wheel drive pickup truck, an RV and Minivan... or so I like to dream.
