5 Series Loaner

benathon · #1 12-27-2005, 12:17 AM

I am getting my alternator replaced today and got a 2004 530i. Let me just say, if I were to trade my car in, this would be on the top of my lists. This car is amazing. The power is remarkable. I only have the 225 3.0 in my X, but in this car it feels so much quicker. It's a lot more roomy than I expected. I like the frontend on the new 3 series more though, but the room is great; I kinda felt small in it... I am trying to get used to the iDrive. I'm already looking at some used 5 series; I found some good deals on the 525i but I want the 530i or 530xi now...

Wait until you test drive a 545i or 550i. You will want that V8 power

Yeah, my dad compared the 545 and the S4 and chose the S4. I rode in the 545 but didn't drive it.

Have you driven the 2006 530i with the new in-line six engine?

I haven't had the chance; what's the difference?

It has the new Inline-6 From the 330i (255hp) and better milage too, plus more wood and leather and more soft touch plastics on the interior, more standards (Adaptive Xenons, Servotronic, Assist, etc

Yeah I did some research of the new in-line 6. I wonder what the extra 30 hp can do for the car. I was contemplating the G35 before but now I really like this.
