BMW seems to have been trying to figure out what to do with the first 5-series, making it more intense sport sedan with the E39 in 1996, the transition into an art car with E60 in 2004. And now a new generation 5-series chassis, the architecture of the F10 BMW 7 Series.
If you are disturbed by the design of the previous 5 series, rugged and classic styling of the new generation F10 you comfortable. But if you're already worried about the drift away from the series 5-identity as a sports sedan, the new car will improve your doubts. Based on the BMW 7 Series architecture, the new 5 Series is 2.3 inches longer and rides on a longer wheelbase 3.2 inches, so it is more subtle than before, but also less lively.
2011 BMW 528i 3 series a little less like the elongate-do you remember and more like a series 7 is smaller.
Performance
528i is the entry point into the lineup 2011 for Series 5 -, and while on-road-performance of the latest edition of sparkling, 3.0-liter inline-6 BMW engine is very much as most drivers will ever want, its output of 240 hp and 230 pounds feet of torque seems a little thin compared to the competition.
Great improvement is what this machine is not raw strength. This is about encouraging and enthusiastic about its 6750 rpm limiter - we expect nothing less than perfectly balanced layout engine - and this is a good thing, because the resulting peak power rpm redline is only 150 short. Almost better than cheat by shipping zip growl power polished that even the clatter of the efficiency of direct fuel injection mold is not, nor would you want to.
flexible and willing to BMW inline engines has always pressed on top of their weight, but because the series in May 2011 has put several hundred a few pounds of extra weight, the engine should help. This is an eight-speed automatic transmission that has two ratios are better than the automatic 5-Series came out, and far better by almost any measure. Edmunds In testing, this car will be up to 60 mph from stop in 7.1 seconds on the way to the quarter-mile in 15.1 seconds at 91.6 mph.
Engine and transmission combine for an unexpected bonus: EPA fuel economy rating of 22 mpg in the city and 32 mpg which is really impressive on the highway. We found many miles of 80-mph highway in our test car and 2011 BMW 528i twisting 30 mpg without breaking sweat. We find this impressive.
To make the most of the drivetrain (and chassis, in this case), but expensive sports package including Driving Dynamics Control, which offers four settings for sharpness accelerator and steering response and firmness of the damping action. Of course there are times when all the BMW calibration fairly aggressive response from the steering wheel has a gas pedal and the suspension, which ensures crisp handling with incidental costs of driving comfort. But a growing number of customers who seem to prefer their BMWs a little less tense, they pay extra to recall what BMW is known, then the vast Driving Dynamics Control electronic.
When it comes to braking, this 3910-pound 528i to stop from 60 mph in 113 feet in Edmunds test.
Comfort
Now the 5-series shares the same chassis architecture as the Series 7 -, you are not only more spacious interior, advanced hardware but also the same as a large car with a much lower price.
The biggest changes in moving the 2011 BMW 5 Series 7 Series platform is the increased size, increased weight and the front suspension is completely new. This is all kind of washing, though. In theory, double-wishbone front suspension new offer a more dynamic response, but any gains largely eliminated by the increase in car length and weight increased rapidly. You can not blame the changes, such as 5-series feels like a much bigger car, and had no obvious toll on the agility that is so long, 5-series benchmark among sport sedans.
Of course, the standard electric power steering is almost brilliant in that gives the sensation of touch - something a little electric-assist system can achieve - and this helps the new 5-Series to maintain its credibility as a car with a sporty flavor. But you can not past the feeling that the concerns about comfort and size of extra attention when the BMW engineers issued their mandate for a new generation 5 Series.
For many customers, moved in the direction of BMW 5 series identity for the new luxury is welcome. But the traditional BMW buyers - rare birds which can also ask for a six-speed transmission, which BMW to credit, remain available for all models 5-Series 2011 - can detect drift a bit philosophical here.
Function
The base 528i is equipped with all the equipment and safety features you expect from a luxury sedan, but there is no question that you have the choice to go with the feeling of absolute luxury premium.
However, various options and option packages only what is pleasant enough respectable. 2011 BMW 528i is a simple sport luxury sedan that can meet many of the basic shape with an extra swing. Cockpit, new drivers are more business-oriented of all, sitting position is excellent and rear passengers will feel less squeezed, although we do not believe that the wheelbase 3.2 inches that was discovered is translated into the rear passenger legroom is extra. Trunk is not exactly spacious, well.
Design / Fit and finish
BMW does not deceive us when it comes to furniture for the new 5 Series. Interior fitted tight and almost all finished materials quality looks, including the metal in circulation.
A very good transmitting Voters set the tone for the interior that offers a number of high technology, but do not exaggerate, some BMW's competitors weakness. 528i Interior brilliant walk the line between looking cool and feel of new components and materials age, and the soothing warmth of natural surfaces.
Who should consider this vehicle
2011 BMW 528i is the choice for those who prefer luxury car that the serious message that engineering remains a top priority. And gone are the eccentric styling details that make some look suspicious on the outgoing generation of BMW's most versatile sedan.
New 5-series bigger, heavier and more luxury-oriented does not disappoint, because the performance is excellent. BMW 5-Series has always been clued-in choice among luxury sedans medium and continue to buy the car for those who love pampering services.
