Just wondering if anyone has ridden an 03 500i yet and would care to comment?? I have heard through the dealer that the 03's are geared a little higher and have quite a bit more speed and also noticably more low end power. If this is true I think this will sway a lot more people towards the AC, mainly those who want that extra 5-10 MPH.

 

Yes, I have ridden one and you can definetly tell the difference in power from previous yr models. I dont remember them saying anything about changing the gearing, but they did re-design th engine for more HP.
