The 530i has 58HP more than the 520i. While the 530i is the base trim model in the US and Canada, the 530i is a mid grade model in Europe and other world markets.

520i is the entry level gasoline G30.

There is also a 518D diesel, 520D (Best selling model), 525D and 530D (6 cyl in line turbo diesel).
Have you driven a 520i? That's my ride and I have no complaints for my style of driving on uk clogged roads and an occasional foray to Europe. MPG 43.5. Lovely and quiet.
