Even Better, Always Great The 2011 BMW 528i.

While the secret to perpetual motion has yet to be cracked, BMW's track record with the 5 Series sedan comes close. The 2011 528i continues BMWs long string of sedans that set the standard for the class. The 528i is all new, inside and out, and manages to look both contemporary and classic at the same time.

Clean, classy lines stretch over a longer wheelbase than before with a lower roofline enhancing the always stylish "lower/longer" design ethic. You know the 2011 528i is a BMW, but it's fresh and familial. Homage is paid to the past with twin-kidneys that lean forward to remind onlookers of the iconic, shark-nosed 5 Series that started it all 30 years ago. While the skin is familiar, the underpinnings are significantly revised and extend BMW's already impressive leadership in chassis tuning and the latest technology integration. A new multi-link front suspension is a significant development after years of MacPherson struts, and can be teamed with Dynamic Damping Control and Active Roll Stabilization to keep the 528i on the bubble whether cornering hard or soft. Electric power steering reduces engine drag and boosts efficiency without losing BMW's famed precision and feedback. "BMW sedan" is neat shorthand for "powered by the world's best inline six," and the 528i is no exception. The lightweight composite-alloy engine's 240 hp may seem overmatched by this spacious sedan, but the numbers don't lie. This buttery smooth powerplant hurls the 528i around with authority; an eight-speed automatic cracks off gear changes quickly, and shift paddles put you in control, even without a clutch pedal hiding in the footwell. Eight speeds also translate to higher efficiency, and BMW's Brake Energy Regeneration refills the battery with electrons rather than letting kinetic energy go to waste as in traditional braking systems. The net result of all the astounding engineering packed beneath the highly sculpted exterior of the 528i is a car that feels like a bionic limb and cossets you with Multi-Contour front seats, the latest generation of BMW's revolutionary iDrive system, available entertainment options that include a navigation and entertainment server and even a Parking Assistant to help slot this E-Ticket sedan neatly into any parking spot. Classic, un-fussy design themes define the 528i's interior, and it's a cabin that will look handsome forever, rather than slavishly follow some trend. Dark wood trim accents add to the rich atmosphere set by high-quality materials, and with the 5 Series' size increase, all passengers will find comfort underscores everything this car does. Safety is attended to as fastidiously as performance, too. The handling that BMW is famous for is your first line of defense. The 528i is so finely balanced, responsive and sure-footed that it can deftly maneuver to avoid many situations that would put lesser cars in trouble. Dynamic Stability Control is there as a safety net, and an electronic limited-slip rear axle helps the 528i stay on its compass bearing even when the going is sloppy. The brakes even compensate for fade and dry themselves in wet conditions. The most impressive thing about all the advanced technology that aids a driver's every move is the seamless, silent, unobtrusive way it goes about its business. It cost Lee Majors six million dollars to become this astounding a performer BMW charges just $44,550. _______________________________________________ PDF generated by Kalin's PDF Creation Station
