Had my 2009 LCI for almost 2 years now and thinking of changing to the new 520i, it just arrive in HK and the price is very cheap compare to the 523i which they dont sell any more

Hi pinguhk, this meaning that the F10 520i has arrived to HK but you are still thinking about ordering one?

The specs are similar to the 520d. So go for it!

Just order 1 today. Very attractive price at 479k with sunroof but thinking should I wait for the new 528i. 0-100km is two second quicker and they have a much better sound system. The difference is 100k. Still thinking and debating

Welcome to the best e60 forum in the world and have fun too

Just add the SB which cut off the lag in the throttle it will be about 1 to 2 sec quicker
It all depends on what extra option they will give on the 528i
did you get the free revers camera with the 520i

Does the Sprint Booster V2 really slash 1~2 seconds for the 0-100km/h??? Wow... I've got one too but I don't know if it would slash that much off... would it...?? A genuine question...because the E60 530i's 0-100km/h is on paper 6.6s, and if it's 2 seconds, then it's 4.6s, which makes it like the M5 performance... I thought Sprint Booster V2 would, at best, slash 1 second...

well I not 100% shore but if BMW made a lag on the throttle for all the cars with out M power 1 to 2 sec and that the SB will cut it out then, it should make sense.
please some 1 with ele background can tell us.

went to BMWHK showroom to ask about the 520i and the sales guy show me what was left of the 520i on sale for end of the year and there were non that we like, all the good colour and interior were sold out.
The sale guy told me to wait for next year for the 528i which is a better price and option car.

I honestly don't think Sprint Booster V2 even at its highest setting would slash 1 second off for your 0-100km/hr time...not trying to be negative but I'm just stating my honest opinion...don't get me wrong, it would be awesome if it did slash off 1 second, because then I would be smashing the E60 540i on the road.

I think it would take off, perhaps 0.5 seconds...
