All things (price inclusive) being equal?

Re: F10 528 Twinpower Turbo and F10 523 IL6

528 15k more, which will be partially offset by lower road tax around 500 per yr.
thanks

Family car, driving around town, low-end torque on a 1.8 ton car is crucial.....

Re: F10 528 Twinpower Turbo and F10 523 IL6

i assume IL6 is good for long haul drive like NSH crusing at 160-180
spore start-stop traffic and short distance travel does not bring the benefit out from IL6 engine, yes/no?

thanks. 523 uses the same motor in my outgoing z4.
will miss the fun of revving it though.

agree that low end torque is weak. already feel it in the smaller z4. thanks

F10 520 is twin turbo @ 185 bhp
F10 528 is twin turbo @ 245 bhp
both is 2000cc??

Re: F10 528 Twinpower Turbo and F10 523 IL6

yeah, both are 2L. 520 is detuned assuming 520/528 use the same ecu
once you can unleash the ecu power (highly likely), it would be awesome

F10 520 is twin turbo @ 185 bhp
F10 528 is twin turbo @ 245 bhp
both is 2000cc??

If u can afford it...535I is the car...6cyl turbo else 528I for me...BMW cannot be replacing the 523I with 528I if the latter is not better! However I believe after 3-5 years u will have more problem with turbo engine...

Re: F10 528 Twinpower Turbo and F10 523 IL6

No need so many years la. Haa
New engine sure a lot of prob.

So what is 0 to 100 for 528i?

Re: F10 528 Twinpower Turbo and F10 523 IL6

i would assume it's just a matter of time.
since it's a turbo engine, a lot of aftermarket tuner can't wait to juice it up

You should ask "so what's 0 - 100 respectively for 528i and 523i seated with 4 adults?"
