2012 528xi - Last min decision

Ordered a 2012 528xi Imperial Blue with Tech, comfort, cold wether, BMW apps, nav, conv.

Car will ship out tomorrow, so I still have a day to cancel.

I've been reading and everyone seems to hate the N20. I originally drove the 535 and it was decent. I don't need a race car or plan on racing it. I had a E60 M5, m3 etc..

The question is: is it that much slower to the point where I'll hate it or should I go with the 535xi and just deduct a few options. It ends up being $100 a month more for the 535xi.....$684 to $780 a month with $0 down 36 month 12k.

Pay $100 more and go with the 535xi and only have nav and wanted seats?

Or stick with the 528xi with the options since I already own a 2008 Audi A8 and a E500 if I want more speed with V8????

I've been reading last 2 days no one stop and it seems like the only people that bash the N20 are people that don't own one or expect it to be a M5....it's not a M5....however for $50+k I don't want to drive a go cart engine on a 4000 lbs car.


Any input would be appreciated, I would go test drive the 528 but BMW is closed on Sunday and tomorrow the 528 ships out....ughhhhhh
