Today I had to return the 530i 2007 back to the stealer and pick up my X5 after the X5 had a RMFD OUTPUT SHAFT replaced because the boot when bad.
I felt in love with the new 530i series, it's nice to start the engine with pushing the button. It responses better on the acceleration because the car is alot lighter than the X5 and much closer to the ground compares to the X.

On the way to Columbus 71 highway, the Vette shot up next to me and wait for me to let loose that beast. Damn, I was impressed with the response of this car accelerate at down shift 4th gear and hit 100 a short race. That was fun!

My wife also loves the car and we plan to get another bimmer for us by next year. What do you guy think about 530i and an X5 in the same garage? It must be awesome doesn't it?

Yea thats what my wife wants. But i talked her into taking my new 2006 X5 so i can get myself a E70. Dont tell her how much you liked the 530 because then she wont take my E53

Dammit all these BMW loaner car stories are getting me jealous. I simply must insist on getting one next time, even if that means making a service appt weeks in advance. Ugh I've been stuck with Enterprise the last 3 times.

The reason the wife like 530i because it's not so heavy like the x5, she alway complaint how heavy to turn that steering wheel and the stiffness of x5. She is driving a LS400 and still complaint how heavy it is and lengthy of it. Well, comparison with the weight of 530i to lexus and X5 is 3500 lbs vs with 5000lbs and 5500 lbs.
