[QUOTE="k3nny, post: 327738, member: 139"] Lexus GS350! :) But on a separate note, i noticed no one mentioned that the E60 523i doesnt come with the "extended lights package"? This is the LED's that shine below the window switch, illuminating the door pockets, the footwell when you open the door etc. I dont know about you but im very fussy about interior mood/ambience lighting and i would pay extra money just to get these lights. So much so i went to the Lexus showroom at night for my 2nd test drive so i could see what the LED interior ambient lights look like. I would get a 525i. If one can be comfortable with the M52 530i, why not the N52 525i which is only 10hp short? Power delivery is slightly different with the N series loving more revs and producing more peak torque in more places but really, theyre pretty much the same beast. 525i, 530i and even 545i/550i is not fast. They're just not made to be fast. Yes they have torque for overtaking manouvers but talking about being exciting drives just doesnt even begin. There are many cheaper more "exciting" cars to drive if power is a priority which i dont think it is for c-square. I still overtake fine on my Bentong - Raub - Gua Musang - Kota Bahru drives in my E60 525i. ;) If you want something thats exciting, get a R34 GTR now. Can be had for the price of a new Camry? More sexcitement than an 18 year old girl can provide. :) [/QUOTE]
