XL has the Xenon Lights for headlights. Non-XL is ordinary bulbs.

Both 320 and 520 use the same type of 4 cylinder engine.

i suffix means the car go faster than non i.

"i" stands for istimewa.
"XL" stands for extra large.
BMW stands for Big Money Waster or Brings More Worries.

That's all ya need to know.

Cheers!

How the engineers decided on the 520 model continues to puzzle me. Car's too heavy for 2000cc. Even the 320 model's pick-up is slow compared to some 2000cc Jap cars.

I guess some people just like the marque but do not need the power or do not want to fork out more money in buying and running it (road tax, insurance).

Thank you for all the valuable informations.

And also those who give nonsense informations that determines their IQs.

So from what i gather, 320 is a better buy than 520 then ? But i see both models, about 5 years old, are about 90k-100k range.
