[QUOTE="Peter Sauber, post: 473950, member: 7350"] There's no truth in saying 530 is more reliable compared with 525 as there is no reported cases of major factory defaults in either models except for the mag alloy engines (N type) which is probably a bit of a pain in the ar$e for some as it is proven to have problems in countries with tropical weather. If i'm not wrong the difference in maintenance cost for a 530 and 525 is small, if any... The vroom factor of course is higher for the 530...but your decision between mag alloy (N type) and steel (M type) blocks shall not be based on vroom factor, it should be based on inconvenience to top up engine oil... :-) [/QUOTE]
