Actually hor,
the new 520, even tho it's a 4 potter...it's tweaked differently, it's 168BHP and not 156bhp like the 320 la....

So bro luboil! enjoy the ride and look forward to seeing u soon, i'm getting my ride this weekend...heehehe:yummie:
It is not 166bhp unless it is N43. N43 is DI engine & not available outside Europe.

Outside Europe, it is N46, which is 156bhp.
 
Re: New 520LCi

is it a myth or truth that 520 engine performs better than 320 engine ?
arent't they are the same engine ? even my SE reckon 520 drives better than 320 despite heavier

Frankly, I'm going for the comfy level it has for this price range. Actually test drive the 323i along Portsdown Rd and it was simply mind blowing.....but too bad I family man, so settled for the 520i. Feel very comfortable when I sit in it. To me, it's definitely a more worthwhile buy than the C200 and IS250 Luxury version, both of which are priced not much lower than this E60 body!

Will get my ride 1-2 weeks later than u......cya around:)

Hey bro Luboil,

Yeah! same same, i love the 323 as well. Actually test drove a 325 (2nd hand recently) very shiok but tires noisy....but what u said is correct. I loved the luxury la. Me is family man too...actually went to check out the A4 (could get it as low as 120k) (price also attractive) but then the ride is different la...
but the 520 is really tweaked a little differently leh, cos i test drove the 320 pro and the 520, besides the comfort level...u can feel that it's still a little more juice to it...

be finding out more in a few days....let me know once u get urs, let's meet for kopi/teh tarik soon la....haaa...

Cheers bro! :)
 
Re: New 520LCi

Good feedback. Seems like a lot of you guys opting for 520i over 320i / 323i. I will go to test drive the 520i this weekend :p

Not prick ur bubble lah. That is quite a lot of misconception about 2L engine. Basically, there r 2 version of 2L engine:
N46: 156bhp 200NM torque. It is available outside of Europe.
N43: This is a Direct Injection (Fuel injection nozzle is inside combustion chamber) engine. 170bhp 210NM torque. It is available in Europe only.

Re: New 520LCi

Wow, I see some of you have really gone on to buy the E60! I thought after 20+ pages all will just compare prices etc and then radio silence.

Buying a BMW (or any other premium car) is to realise a dream. If having a group buy means trying to "arm twist" the SE to lower to unrealistic prices (I remember someone said sub-100k) or else threaten to go Mercedes or Volvo or Audi, then I think you dun deserve to drive a BMW because you are degrading the brand.

To me, a group buy for a premium car is to maybe get a reasonable discount, and then try to ask for freebies like rim upgrades or window film...not go in and say "I have 20 potential buyers, we want the 520 to be sold to us at 110k or else we go to buy a Mercedes" or something like that.

I am going to be flamed for this but I dun care. I also earn my money and I want to spend it on something I like but I wun stoop down to degrade the brand. Want a cheap car, go buy a Corolla.

hey brudder,
I agree with u....erm...i actually bought the car and THEN i joined BMW-SG...hehee....so i not the talk cock like sing song guy hor.....hahaha...
But i agree no need to arm twist la...people also need to earn a living. But buying a 5 series is a statement la....(not like i've arrived, no way, still learning la)...but it's more of a symbol lor...of liberation i guess! lol!

I don't think there's anything wrong with a group buy but as long as the group buy leader don't "hung" the SE like "you no give us good plice? we go buy mar-cee-lee or AU-LEE"... think that's fine.

As for me? i went in (did snooping around for nearly 5-6 months, spoke to 2 other female SE) and then ended up buying one from a male SE (i always buy from guys cos easier, straight to the point, most female SE's really no discounts one...they damn good!).

I got most things, paid a reasonable price, but no window film cos he already "subsidise" my insurance payment liao, plus 3m car mat...so can't hiam liao. But he will give me good lobang to go make the tinting...

Think that's fair lor...

so kudo's to all brothers who's buying the E60...i collecting me ride either tommorrow or thursday liao...gan cheong man...hahahha!

See u around!

ps: u not tan hua hor? hehehe...or tan hua's colleague? hehe:yummie:
