Message: <blockquote data-quote="pussy" data-source="post: 574088" data-attributes="member: 60">Thanks Doc for organizing this event.. nice to see new friends and old ones...Thanks to Quill for taking this initiating to let us sample this new cars.. wonderful !!Even the MD was around to welcome us and further discount on some merchandise on sale !!Wish that others who were on the waiting list should have come, cos quite a number FFK.My report on the 520d and the 528i as i wasn't keen on the 520i.520d, as usual was very torquey and can feel some slight G's when floored., spec's is good and the 4 mode of ride can be somewhat confusing as there is many choices, but i believe, once you have it, you will only play with 2 at least. the Sport+ is less bumpy than the 320d sport and responsiveness of the throttle, steering, suspension and engine is all very different form each mode as Comfort, Normal, Sport and Sport+ .I like the Sport+ most, as i would be only driving alone daily. but not very harsh during my drive in PJ's badly surface roads. Fast roads is very nice, the car just goes and goes....by the way, once you are driving, the car is very agile and you feel like in the e30 !!528i M Sporthate the stop/go function, upsets the feel !! and furthermore, the AC switches to higher temperature !!... lucky there is a off switch at the start/stop button.engine even the higher 245hp's than the 520d's is not convincing and the torque of the diesel is far more better !! 380 versus 350 in the 528.No feeling of any G's , just that feel the car's rev's built up till 7000rpm and can't remember what gears to play with ? 8 speed with the paddle shift is a handful. but i think, with the daily drive, you will leave it alone. The head's up display is good to have. The car had less than 1000km on the clock. With the Msport model which was tested, the Sport+ was much better than the 520d non Msport. More sharper response and much harder suspension and steering feel.Overall, both cars are nice and the price difference, 410k and 360k is quite a difference for the 528i and 520i, and my pick will be the diesel,as it is 333k and performance better than the 520i !!  more torque, that's what you need on the B roads...highway ? just cruise la...528i, unless you have money, buy it. but i rather buy a inline 6 engine with some topping up of money.Thanks once again Doc.</blockquote>
