Brand New 520i or Pre-Owned 523i ?

[Juan Powerblow]

Once you go force induced, it is very very difficult to go back to NA

Yeah. I realised this when I bought my RCZ. It felt fast, all the time, till it became a bane to have to drive my E92 323i. So, traded it in for the F30 328i. Don't get me wrong, I loved my E92, had it for 5 years plus which is a record for me. But once you go turbo....

I'm an owner of F10 523i 2011,

Love it this far, the smoothness of the engine, quietness, changing of gears,

Lovely!

have u compared to 520i or 520d b4?

That would be interesting. On paper, it's pretty even stevens, 0.1 secs faster to 100 for the 520i is nothing. Similar top speed even. But surely 380 Nm torque means the d takes a leap somewhere down the stretch.

Hi there, i've tested against 520d, during my time of purchase, 520i wasn't available.

I had a 525i E60 previously, i'm just not use to the noise of Diesel in a 5 series, thus I opt for 523i instead.

F10 is a great car, you won't regret buying neither of it,

Cheers!

Mind telling the difference between your previous car and the present in terms of engine performance and the handling? Tks
