When new, 530 was easily RM100k more than 520. now even cheaper than 520 when used. bearing in mind that the maintenance cost is similar, the only "extra cost" would be the once a year road tax which should not be a concern for Beemer owners who always yearn for "more power" and even try the extent to remap or supercharge the engine.

let take a practical scenario
used 530 RM53,800 vs 520 RM59,000

if you bought a used 530 and intend to keep for 5 years, your "extra cost" would be around RM1,500 per year (road tax) x 5 = RM7,500, less of initial cost savings RM5,200 bal = RM2,300

To enjoy drastically more naturally aspirated power over 5 years @ merely RM2,300 in total is too good a bargain to miss.

My reasoning was simple when I bought my car - 530i's in the UK generally have a higher spec than the rest, so I dont have to mod later. My car came with 16:9 screen, sat nav, tv, special leathers, special colours, M-pars and everything I wanted. Looking at the Service and Maintenance cost where everyone was posting 4-6k service bill, would you really want to miss the 530i power because you're afraid of its roadtax. Also for me no need to touch the engine for more power since I have enough on tap.

Well said Haywire bro.

Envy your car.

PS: Managed to sort out your car already after the fender bender with the bus months ago?

 

[haywire]

I cleaned the smudged bus's paint on the car, and it wasnt that noticeable anymore. I'm leaving it alone until I have enough moolah to repaint whole car in the same colour again. Too many other projects going on at the minute.
