It is time to replace the wife's e90 320i and while I had my heart set on a F30 328i, I was lured by trying out a the bigger 5 series. Given the high prices of cars over here. I can only afford the "entry level" 520d. This car cost me over 100K USD so imagine how much a 528i or even 535 would cost.

A few years ago, I told myself that I would never buy a 4 cylinder, moreso 2 liter 5 series but times have changed and technology has been kind to the humble 520d. The new F10 520 is no longer the snail it was once in it's past generations and I was happy with the performance that I chose the 520d over the 328i which cost the same.

Since this is the wife's car, mods will be limited. Maybe some 19 or 20 inch wheels and possibly springs or KWs.

Here she is right after delivery. Taken at the strip mall at the back of the dealership.
