[QUOTE="MacSid, post: 690602, member: 32902"] Thanks guys! @ _M_: Given the way it is/has to be driven in and around KL, the 528i has been great (with the exception of the fact that I used to get 800 or so km per tank in the 530d but struggle to get 400 in the 528, but that's also down to KL traffic). The twin-scroll turbo is a peach, delivering torque in [I]almost [/I]diesel fashion, and the relative silence of the 4-banger almost makes up for the absence of the lovely 6-pot diesel growl. BMW have done a great job with the 2.0 lump as well - it actually sounds good when you push it. I was preparing to be disappointed after hearing the Mercedes 1.8 in the E250 which, to be honest, sounds cheap. Still not as good as the diesel 6 thrumming over at 1,100rpm at 120 km/h, but good enough. I must also say that the cabin of the F10 is a leap ahead of the E60's so, all in all, I'm a very happy puppy. [/QUOTE]
