I'm sure there will be mods soon: software, exhaust, intake and I'm sure I'll be around the same power if not more. I rather spend the extra money and replace those hideous wheels and maybe a lip, diffuser, spoiler and room spoiler.

I too had fun driving this car, again im not buying for speed otherwise id buy another E60 M5 so going to call the dealer to ship it. I'm getting an amazing deal and makes no sense for ME to drop this deal and go with a 535 just for a little more power and pay regular price for the 535. Let's hope I don't regret it

Thanks for the help in making my decision!
If it fits your needs, thats all that matters. Not everybody place horse power as a top priority. The 528 feels almost as quick as the 535 in the city, on the highway, the difference is more noticable. It sounds like this will be a project car for you anyways, after spending a $10000 on it or so, it will be quicker than 535 and look better doing it. When it comes down to it, its hard to resist a good deal. Good Luck with your new 528.
