Having driven the 528, they do pack a decent punch, I would not advise anything lower than the 2.8L. Edited January 16, 2008 by international Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope you did well out of it. From watching trademe I reckon you'd get a pretty good E39 540 for $15K Good luck with it - and yeah, go test drive everything!!
