Yah, underpowered for Americans. They have a 630i coupe and a 730d in Europe, along with an 318i and even a X3 2.0i (which is admittedly, underpowered for even European standards). Seriously the 525i is only underpowered because the competition has more power for the buck. As long as you buy a manual 215hp is a non-issue unless you have some.........need to rack up speeding tickets.
