IAS is there nothing to shout about.528iPerformance :again 2 mode confort and sport ( chasis and drivetrain ) , responsive of engine is there , torque / power is available at 3k rpm not like 520i which i felt lag. much more driver oriented car and aggressive. agreed with bro pussy the paddleshift in this case because of 8 gear is more or less to help you drop gear. too much gear to play around.  Sound :same like 520i not much chattering . acceptable . performance sound much better than 520i , this was agreed by the group in my test drive. i asked the sa is it like M5 with built in sound to fake the roar.consumption worstfeature : 528i come with additional HUD display cool but sometime weird especially for specky like me , i tend to focus on the hud too much.  VDO display is half LCD unlike 520i and 520d only quarter lcd. M body kit and 18" wheel. M sport trim , Msport seat and Steering wheel . so the 49k over 520i is worth it. I drive have additional function overall summaryall 520i / 520d / 528i are fine car but really depend on what you want.520i good all rounder ( urban driving /non performance ) sound decent unlike 520d lorry . ( tai tai car )520d urban performance ( with so much torque , need i say more overtake in start stop traffic is a breeze ) ( daily driving )528i Good highway car ( soo much toy and you get m sport kit ) , the 18 inch on sport plus is too harsh compare with 17" of 520. maybe change RFT it be better.for me i stick with my 520D cuz after test drive that 2 beuty i love my diesel more ! , if you want performance non stop guilt free -> 520d , will get either vector / hartge / ac / chipexpress  ECU when my warranty expired . cuz 528 remind me of what a remap of ECU can do your car <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> if undecided between 520i and 528i , get 528 the 49k different of 528 is worth it because officially Mkit + wheel cost more than that</blockquote>
