[QUOTE="kaizen, post: 582366, member: 24522"] Hi wjmg, You have a good point there. I currently also own a Mark 6 VW GTI and have resisted chipping it - although having driven a buddy's one that has, the drive of a chipped/mod car is indeed more engaging. Another way to look at it is that after driving your 520i for 3 years and then doing a mod actually gives your car a new lease of life - akin to after an engine flush and oil change or new set of tires - but more exciting. I was exploring the options and currently very much decided on the 528i, the main winner for me is the M Spec steering - the grip feel chunkier - and the occasional use of the paddle shifts. The HUD is a matter of getting used to - having driven for many years looking down to get info, .... looking at the windscreen and having the info is indeed pretty cool stuff. Thanks again to all fellow BMW kakis here, you all have made choosing with my heart an easier decision! :) [/QUOTE]
