With every new generation of engines the BMW engineers set new benchmarks to increase dynamics and efficiency. And this is also true of the four-cylinder petrol engines BMW 520i and 528i. These new power trains with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology combine a TwinScroll turbocharger with Valvetronic, double-Vanos and High Precision Injection. The intelligent technology package dramatically reduces fuel consumption while allowing impressive performance over a wide range of speeds. As a result, the 528i accelerates with 180 kW (245 hp) from 0 to 100 km/h in a sporty 6.2 seconds – with average fuel consumption of 6.8 to 7.1 l/100 km and CO2 emissions from 159 to 165 g/km. The BMW 520i also sets standards in efficiency: while 135 kW (184 hp) power the vehicle from standstill to 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds, the four-cylinder engine consumes 6.8 to 7.0 l of fuel per 100/km with CO2 emissions of 157-163 g/km.
All figures in accordance with EU test cycle and dependent upon the selected tyre format.
