[PHEVer]

The 530e fits our transportation needs perfectly. Mid-size luxury sedan with a smaller carbon footprint. Did not consider the 530i an option so I can't compare. We do our daily driving in a medium sized town and only use the combustion engine about once a month during road trips. Not as "tossable" on twisty country roads as our 228i but I wouldn't call it clumsy. It is certainly larger, heavier, and roomier and a very comfortable highway cruiser.
