Believe me, you need to just force your way in sometimes and the 528xi was not quite up to the task.
I have never had an issue accelerating quickly in my measly 528, and have never felt like I needed more power for daily driving. Seriously, if I had any more power I would be crashing into the cars in the lane. I have also seen several 535 and 550s that are unable to merge, so I am going to say that driver skill has a lot to do with it.

Just saying from an actual 528i owner's perspective...
