if you're not fussed about the performance, you may want to consider the difference in road tax between a 3 litre car (about 2K+) and a 2.5 litre car (about 900)

If I were u, I would choose 530. Remember no replacement for displacement but pls find a good and trustable dealer.fyi,this dealer are not to be trusted.

Warn you, dont test drive 530D cos you will never want to drive a 525/530i anymore. )

Personal opinion go for 525i M-Sport:top:

Bro, Converting front and rear lamp will cost u roughly abt rm5k. The 530i you mention is magnesium or m54 engine. ?

Agree. That was happened to me. I was looking for 525i for more than 6 months but finally fall in-love with 530d.
The feeling is so much different and you won't feel any power lagging and you save 25%-40% on your petrol. But you need to learn how to enjoy diesel sound as how ferrari owners enjoy sound of thier car to appreciate the car.
