BMW 525 or 530, Lease or Buy
Hello I’m trying to make some major decisions between getting a 525i
or 530i. Is there such a difference in what the 530 offers (other than the obvious options) to justify a $4,000 price increase? Also, I’m trying to decide between leasing or buying the car. Any suggestions about pros and cons for both? I know the dealer might make a different deal depending on what I do but my main issue is which will be more beneficial in the long run (ie. maintenance, overall expense). Please help! Thanks much! -- Posted using the http://www.autoforumz.com interface, at author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.autoforumz.com/BMW-525-53...ict105757.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).

Not sure what options the 530 package gets you beyond the 3 liter engine,
but the extra power is very nice, although not absolutely necessary. Go drive the two, if the 525 is adequate for you, save the money...or buy a one year older 530 (with lots of warranty left) and get the lower price plus more power. - GRL "Nuggs" <UseLinkToEmail@New & Used Cars Forums - AutoForumz.com> wrote in message ... > Hello I'm trying to make some major decisions between getting a 525i > or 530i.

Go to your country's BMW corporate web site and see what is listed in the standard features for the 525 and 530. start he http://www.bmw.com/ -Fred W |
