BMW 520i Reviews
BMW 520i generating 135kW/270Nm with official fuel use of just 6.4 liters/100km, thanks to stop-start technology and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Bluetooth connectivity with audio streaming and a seven-inch screen for the satnav system. Spend another $20,300 and the same 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder has been overclocked in the BMW 528i to produce 180kW/350Nm while using just 0.3 liters/100km more fuel.
An eight-second 0-100km/h time is respectable but doesn't do the 520i justice. It is a better performer than the number suggests. There's a moment where the engine spools up to overcome momentum but maximum torque is available from 1250rpm and at that point no-one will pick this is a 2.0-litre.
5 Series have come with a six-cylinder engine under the hood, the new 520i saloon has a four-cylinder turbocharged engine to drive the rear wheels in classic BMW style. With 184bhp and 270 Newton-metres of torque on tap, the 520i is the entry-level 5 Series.
