Two inches more shoulder room, inch and a half rear knee room may not sound like much, but in reality that puts it in a different class.
Hmmm. Good points. For my every day commute, I don't need the room, but it would be nice to have another option for family activities. I priced it out and it's $10k more. Kind of lot considering how much a 330i costs in Hawaii. I would consider the 525i as a less expensive option, but I really liked the acceleration of the 330i - that's why I settled on it. Like I said, I am not an aggressive driver, but I would like to have some get up and go when I need it.
