BMW 528i Car Review
BMWs have long been highly regarded, not only as a top quality product with excellent safety and luxury features, but also for the driving satisfaction they provide.
The reviews for the BMW 528i are fairly mixed. On the one hand they like the engine, but say as an ownership proposition it doesn't make sense as it's eclipsed by the other engines offered in the new 5-Series.
CONCLUSIONS: The BMW 528i Sport is an enthusiast's sports sedan that works well in everyday life.
Our long-term BMW 528i has nearly 20,000 miles on the odometer, so I figured I'd run its specs through the Edmunds TMV (True Market Value) calculator to see what it would cost to buy it now in its current condition.

The BMW 528i extends the performance envelope by producing 258hp at 6,600rpm and 310Nm of torque from 2,600-5,000rpm. This equates to a zero to 62mph time of 6.6 seconds (6.7 seconds) and an electronically-limited top speed of 155mph.
"The BMW 528i delivers regal interior appointments, and nearly impeccable driving manners. To me, its main peccadillo is its sometimes non-linear throttle response and a rather busy 8-speed transmission." -- Consumer Guide ...
It’s more expensive to service than my BMW 528i. Gear changes are not very positive when slowing down gradually or approaching roundabouts. Exhaust manifold bolts are known to break and result in blowing.
