In my 540 m-sport with steptronic if i kicked it down a gear and let it rev a little id already be goin 30-40mph faster! Easy to smoke people after you gave it a second but then you'd be going too fast.

you can't tell the difference between the sport packages and non sport unless you have a tape measure. the only difference is the ride height. and maybe the rims, depending on which ones were purchased with the car

hammering the 545 and then jumping on the brakes to turn hard with the AFS is WAAAAYYY more fun than a 530. but i prefer a standard gearbox to the steptronic. The delay in the torque converter is just annoying. when i want acceleration, i want acceleration NOW

Very nice car. Another Beemer member. WE are taking over TT.

My dad also looked at the A6, but that car is not as stylish and fined out as the E60, also the A6 doesn't have RWD. Between the 530 and 525 i'd have the 530, it's a better engine and it runs smoother! (and it goes faster )

Very nice car there, Rico. Excellent choice I think. Your dad and you (in 2 years time) will most definately enjoy it!

Love the colour combination, BTW

Nice car! Colors are great too
The BMW 5 series is my favourite

Nice car!! I wish my dad had the money to afford one of those...

Great pics too btw.

Black suits the 5 series best IMO. But I would chosen for different rims.

When you become 18, I'm sure you'll have lots of fun in this car.

From a Chysler Voyager to this... that's a giant leap ahaed
