My friend bought a 2000 528i, premium package but no sport. I drove it to lunch and back when she first got it - I thought it drove much better than an E46 non-sport. Perfectly weighted steering, handled fine, fantastic brakes - very solid car.
I also drove a 2002 530i premium non sport, and it was the same as the 528i, except faster. Try it, you might like it.
