Ride around in a "Beemer" as they are fondly called, and you project an air of sophistication and elegance. After all being in the same class as a Mercedes, Jaguar or a Rolls Royce puts you in very good company indeed. The people at BMW designed the 5 series for a market that are not only part of the elite, but who enjoy a good romp as well.
The BMW 528I is considered the smaller brother in the 5 series sedans.
Like it's other brethren it shares the same distinctive elegant lines, it's the type of car where one would bring the family around safely, in absolute comfort and on time. It has all the refinements expected of a BMW 5 series class.
The 528i aerodynamically has an aggressive stance, not so much as you would expect in a sports car but one that commands attention on the road.
The distinctive grille, that serves as the marquee of a Beemer focuses your attention to the long elegant hood, the sloping lines to the tightly wrapped rear end.The 528i has a roomy interior that seats the family with ease. The plush leather and wood trim identify with the class of owner of a BMW. For the driver, a wide angle view of the controls and gauges provide information instantly when needed.
This is where the 528i differs from its brethren.
Sporting a 3.0 liter inline six, BMW went to work on this models powerhouse, boosting an additional 10 HP from its predecessor and an additional 30 Ft-lb's of torque, to round it off as 240 and 230 respectively. Although making more muscle BMW has yet to realize a more powerful package in the 528i. Torque output was a little low, and the 240 hp is only realized at 6600 rpm. But this is where the 528i niche is, an elegant and more economy focused sporty sedan. EPA rated 22 mpg city driving and 32 mpg on the freeway.
The 528i sports the 8 speed automatic with manumatic shifting of BMW, good enough for the more sedate of drivers. It leaves those more in tuned to a more sporty style of driving yearning for the company's 6 speed manual gearbox.
The 528i is one of the first in it's generation to have the new electric power steering.
It has a smooth solid feel that make driving this car seem effortless. It is perfect for the laid back driver, who wants to get to his destination with a minimum of effort. The down side is the lack of feedback, this makes driving the car a bit artificial.
The new BMW 528i provides what the market wants in a 5 series base model, elegance, comfort and style. It's a car that takes you where you want to go, and look good in it as well.
