[QUOTE="wobbles, post: 589014, member: 24637"] This is my humble 2 cents worth. If it's the 520i vs 523i, apart from the rattling to be expected at idling, and the fact that you're paying a small fortune for a 4-potter engine, most of the reviews I read seem to rave on about how the 520i is the little 4-potter that could. It pulls fiercely, it has a flat torque band delivery and it sips at the fuel pump. And, if you're so inclined, it's apparently very happy to be ECU-chipped to develop up to 280hp! However, if it's smoothness & refinement you're looking for in a ride, nothing beats the perfect balance that only an In-line 6 cylinder engine like the N52B25 in the 523i can deliver. Good luck in making your choice - either way, it'll be a damn fine ride :) [/QUOTE]
