Which is better: BMW 520i or BMW 525i?

I want to buy a BMW 5 Series, year 1990-1995, but I wonder which one is better, the 520i = 2.0 L Engine while 525i = 2.5L Engine, I want to know which one is more economic in fuel, they say that 525i is better because the car is very heavy and it needs a big engine, while for 520i they say the engine is small and you need to kick down the acceleration pedal to move the car?? Please any one used them advice me??!

    Get the 525i. It is indeed a heavy car and even 2.5L feels underpowered. If you don't drive aggressive, press hard on brake and gas pedals, or shift like crazy, you should be good on gas. But still expect to be at around 18 to 22mpg, and it requires premium fuel. At least, that's how it is in USA.

    2.5 because it is bigger and faster. But I would go with an M3.
