But they won't drop the 528 because some people love the car, but don't need 300hp.

If only you knew of the 520d....people are allowed to want lower fuel bills and a prestige car at the same time.

The 525i walked a fine line between so-so performance and good fuel economy/badge to make up for it, but the 528i is a worthwhile successor to the "anemic" 5 Series.

Chip the 535 and it will be as fast or faster than the 550. BMW has really got to kick up the performance of the 550.

230hp and 0-60mph of 7.1 seconds for the BMW 528i is plenty fast. Especially for people who just like the look of the car, and don't need 300hp or 360hp.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't quicker than 7.1. The previous 530i had 225hp, and it was quicker. BMW always amazes me with their efficiency- they get such quick cars out of engines that would make other cars lethargic.

I test drove a 550 a couple weekends ago and it's engine was STELLAR.

But a Visnu chipped 335 will be interesting, to say the least.

"too powerful for the tires".

That is a GOOD PROBLEM, my friend.

I love driving my M3 in the rain with the DSC turned off. It's like driving with 1000 horsepower in the dry, without burning up your tires.
