Hi and welcome...
Both got sports mode...looks like you into power???:top:

oh i see...i thought only after certain years of the E39 only got sports mode because i only see the +/- sign on the gear panel unless unlike the Honda where you shift into Sports mode and play the paddle shifts.Maybe its in a form of a button for the BMW or something??or BMW does this differently??

Yeah i'm into power:top: and well not so much about fuel consumption.

Thanks for the reply

Sports mode is engaged if you shift to the left..known as DS. Once in that mode shifting up/down engages the gears into manual aka +/- sign.

Its a 525 stroked to a 3.4. In short change some of the internals of the engine and slight modifications. 528i next year shd be hovering around RM50k plus. Its already around RM60k now and the interest rates for cars have just gone up. 525 shd be around RM60k plus next year....
