Yeah I have and was really surpised at how good it felt, loads of grunt.

Plus DMS can take it to 210bhp and 450nm of torque, and I believe that takes the 0-60mph time down to just under 8 seconds, which is very good.

The only thing that you need to consider is ditching the run flat tyres, they destroy the ride, it is 100x better wiyh proper tyres.

Far worse (IMO) and frankly not good enough for the class of car!! I think the suspension of the 3 was designed with runflats in mind from the outset, whereas the 5 was adapted to take them (if indeed they bothered adapting the suspension sportifs2.gif) later. Our 1, which also has runflats, seems to have a better ride than the 5, which is just silly confused.gif

Weightwise, there's probably not much in it between the 3 and 5, but don't have the figures to hand. On paper the 520d doesn't look underpowered, but haven't driven one yet myself
