It's this reason why Zung Fu make u sign disclaimer if u buy S350/ML350 with lean burn function (i.e. those that have $75k frt rebate), it is also the reason why E350 CGI doesn't have tax rebate cos the lean burn function is disabled.
528i N20 is not really overpriced as pre-frt rebate it costs $623k, with the same equipment spec as 528i/530i N52. This is $10k cheaper than 530i N52. In Germany, 528i N20 is 800 Euros cheaper than 530i N53, which compares well with the price difference in HK.

I thought only the 2007 e60 530i got N53 and before was N52, M52. Each got power upgrades as well.
Didn't know about that. what about the 300 does it have that? Relative thinking of R300 facelift
Thought it was a little more diff in euro between 528i and 530i, when i compared the 528i went down in price a little and the 530i increased (from N52 528i)
Perhaps i just don't like it I still think its just a 520i with software..
