Better handling. Less weight, and thus better mileage and performance.

I was going to buy a 530 touring in 2003, but I couldn't special order one without the sunroof. So I bought the E53 essentially for greater headroom. It was a great car, but I replaced it with a 535 for the reasons listed above. Also, the replacement was more fun to drive.
