TSX vs 528i ?

Hows the acceleration of a TSX compare to a BMW 528i?

In the car forum to which I used to belong there were endless posts about acceleration, 0-60, of our cars vs. a variety of other cars. I used to point out that every car mentioned in these posts would have been dusted by a Subaru Forester XT, 0-60 in 5.3 sec.!
As I am not, nor have I ever been, interested in street drag racing, overall *balance* of a car is much more important to me. I still cannot get over how brilliantly the TSX handles. Add to that the quality of the car, the reliabilty, the design, both exterior and interior, and lastly the price, and the TSX seems like it just sells itself.
Although the 528 is an excellent car as well, and accelerates faster than a TSX, it is quite a bit more money- and it's not even as fast off the line as a Nissan Altima 3.5.
