The 2012 BMW 528i is powered by a 2.0 liter 4-cylinder single twin-scroll turbocharger making 240-hp at 5,000 rpm and 260 lb-ft of torque between 1,250 and 4,800 lb-ft. Mated to an 8-speed automatic Sport and Manual shift modes and Adaptive Transmission, the car averages 22/32 mpg (city/highway).
The 2012 BMW 528i is very well equipped, also coming with EfficientDynamics technologies like Brake Energy Regeneration and Engine Auto Start/Stop.There can also be activated an ECO PRO mode, which adjusts the heating, air conditioning, engine map, and mirror/seat heating in order to minimize fuel consumption. The resulting increase in range is shown on a display.
The new 2.0 liter 4-cylinder turbo offers more power and torque than the normally aspirated 3.0-liter inline-6 featured in the 2011 BMW 528i, which means a price increase that, by all means, is worth it.
After all these details, it can only be fair to give the most precious information that we promised in the title of this article. BMW has just announced pricing for BMW 528i and BMW 528i xDrive, which start for the first one at $46,700 and $49,000 for the second.
It’s nice to see though that the prices are more than legitimate, and we wait for some new BMW acquisitions to occupy our time.
