325i to 520i...any thoughts?
I went to pick up my car at BMW from service (regular oil change) and decided to walk around the showroom while waiting.
Big mistake. They have 520i promotion from today. Its basically the same as before but now the price is 499k. It still includes below options for free: * LED lights * sunroof * comfort access keyless * backup camera * automatic tailgate And they one car with the exact color combo I wanted (sophisto gray+cinnamon brown). I have it reserved and need to decide in 24hrs. main concern was lack of power, but I immediately arranged a test drive and the seems to fell just as fast as the 325i. I am a bit tired of the 325 and want a bit bigger car (kids...) and I do like all the free toys. I hardly get to push the car so perf is just ok. Ideally I want a 528i with Nav and hifi camera but that is 700k vs 500k here and the options are never worth anything anyways so this seems like a no brainer. I feel with the discount and all the toys, i am in good shape for depreciation even if i decide to sell after 1 year. Any reason to *not* get the car?

I wouldn't mind, but just consider, in HK I pay more for parking then someone in the USA pays to lease a new 328i.

Decided to go for the 520i.
* Sophisto Gray * Cinnamon Brown * LED headlights * Multifunction instrument cluster * Comfort access/automatic tailgate/rear camera * sunroof under 500k so happy with the deal. was looking at the new x5 m sport diesel with was almost 2x the price but decided to wait a year or two for it. i figure i can trade in two years a get a good deal on below. NBT navigation retrofit and stereo upgrade right away after pickup.

The 520i feels faster which was unexpected.
