Acceleration is excellent, both from a standing stop and from 30 to 60. You can jump onto Interstates or any kind of highway without fear of being run down by the other vehicles on the highway. That kind of comfort is worth the price. By virtue of its performance, the 528i is a nice car. By virtue of its comfort, it's pretty good, too.
Front seats are individual buckets with good side support.
And since the 528i handles well, you need the extra side support to hold you in the seat. There's safety as well, with dual front air bags as well as side air bags for the front passengers. The rear seats even offer good side support and a fold-down armrest that helps along. Among the instruments was an information readout that I sometimes refer to as a fuel management computer. This last piece of data is important during the winter months when you want to know the condition of the road in front of you.
