Ok, I am now reconsidering my 330i order and changing it to a 530i. Actually I am leaning towards a 530i and just need some confirmation. I posted a similar thread on the e90 forum and received helpful feedback. I will probably not be spending this much money on a car again and I want to make a good choice. I plan on keeping for a while also and would like something that is timeless.

I initially didn't consider the 530i because of cost and need. I am going to be using the 330i mainly as a commuter car to and from work. My wife and I already have an SUV. The extra room didn't justify the cost. Also, the 3 Series have had such good reviews, as opposed to the 5. The 330i would definitely be a better driving experience. I drove both the 325i and 330i, but not he 530i. But the 530i appears more luxurious than sporty and has similar power and acceleration to the 330i. Plus, I am in no ways an agressive driver. I would rather have a car that would be a good driving experience in terms of a comfortable ride and have good acceleration when I need it. My typical drive to work is around 30-40 minutes and I go between 35-45 mph.

Now I don't know what to do and would like some input from 5 Series enthusiasts on the e60. Part of the issue is need and the other issue is style. What fits me best? With regard to style, I just turned 40 and don't want to be diriving a car that is age appropriate. I don't want to be viewed as going through a mid life crisis by driving a sports car - Corvette, G-Coupe, etc. I also don't want to be driving a "grandpa car" either. When I went to Lexus I thought the GS was an appealing car, but noticed that a lot of GS drivers were older - not that there is anything wrong with that.

I am considering the following options: Sport, Premium, Park Distance, Comfort, Premium Sound, and Steptronic Trans.

Lastly, I read that the Logic 7 is better on the 530i than the 330i. Is this true?

Thanks in advance!
