I went from an E46 325i to an E60 528i (both pretty fully optioned), and having test driven E9x and F3x (including M's), I just can't picture myself going back. My 5'er is more luxurious, more comfortable, better built, and more powerful. The increased agility & fun of the 3 Series just can't beat out everything else the 5 offers.

Your old 528i is not better built and more powerful than an F30 and F80, that's a fantasy. I've had 5 series loaner cars, a 530 and a 530e and I've driven the new M5. I test drove the F10 550i before I got my 340i.
There is no way I would move to a 5 series unless it was an M5 and even then it's not the right tool for the job I want the car to do. Everyone has different boxes to check and the 5 series is great for certain wants and needs, just not mine at this time. However, I do enjoy the comfort and upscale interior in the new 5 series and it was a pleasure to sit in for my commute.
BTW, in what universe does a 227 hp, 199 ft-lb 528i have more power than an F30 330i, 340i, or M3/4? My F80 has 453hp and 443ft-lb torque. How does your 528i have more power?
I'm going to have to call BS in your claim that you drove a M3/4 and came to this conclusion. You must have had it in efficient mode and didn't bother going past 20% throttle. This is undoubtedly confirmation bias on your behalf.
