[QUOTE="kenfoo2, post: 578195, member: 22717"] Adding my 2 sen to this thread... Managed to test the 520i -- comparing that against my 2011 520d. 520i sounds and drives slightly more refined. It's quieter both inside and outside. Drive is smooth when compared to my 2011 520d. (Perhaps it's the 2012 COMFORT+ setting or my driving style? My 520d tends to pull back a little if I let go of the pedal during low speeds.) Acceleration on the 520i is good -- but left me wanting just a little more. Revs and pulls smoothly all the way to 6/7k, but lack that lower/mid end kick compared to 520d. It's still good though. Have to rev to enjoy it. 520i is suitable for ferrying people around and relaxed driving. 520d is more fun and feels a little livelier in the city. You can't go wrong with either. For me, no regrets getting the 520d :cool: [/QUOTE]
