e39 528 and e39 530

[hpteh72]

Was looking for an e39 at a dealer and found out the 530 e39 as well. Immediately the 530 attracted me. Was wondering what are the differences apart from the power between these 2. Is 530 a better choice? At the moment I am for the 530 but have to really consider carefully. Any advise from the sifus out there......

Major different, 528 is m52 530 is m54.

one is pre-facelift (528i) and one is facelifted (530i)...so lots of difference apart from the engine...

in my opinion a 530i would be a better choice...

tweiboon, I think this is rather ridiculous. It will not only affect foreign car brand but also proton. Project e39 will still proceed.

You are absolutely spot on (ridiculous & project still proceed). I am sure all of us being Malaysian knows very well how the system work and not forgetting the flip flops.
