Driving impressions of the 528i

[rps]

My 1 is in the shop for a walnut blasting to clean out the carbon. I hope this will stop the car from throwing codes.

As a loaner, they gave me a 528i. Overall the car feels huge compared to my 1. The loaner has the twin turbo 4 banger which is making me long for my 1. Even in sport mode, acceleration is lacking. Being a techie, I love the technology package on the car. I wish I had taken the snap in adapter for my iPhone from my 1 to take full advantage of the package. It is still fun to play with the features.

My car should be ready tomorrow and I can't wait to get back into something that has pick up and nimble handling.
