@@Jdplayz-bq4ysAgreed. I had. 2011 20,000 miles and took it to 100k no problem. All you literally have to do is drive it like a normal person and do all your maintenance on time.
Realy one and only good f10 review i have found. Especially the adaptive diving mode buttons is great because couldnt find any other reviews. Thanx for your review i will buy a 528i
Most helpfull thanks, one of the best forecourt car reviews i ever watched "Still watching in 2024", thanks again, hope your'e still succesfully moving the stock👌👌👌
The N52 is generally regarded as much more reliable than any of the turbo engines BMW makes. The only real issue with it was the lifter tick which was resolved.
23 City/32 highway, thats some pretty good gas mileage for a luxury car of this size. The EPA gave my 2002 Camry 4-cylinder the same estimated mileage.
F10 is referring to the chassis not the engine. BMW used to use the letter E and then the respective number in front of it but now for their newest cars they use F then a number. The new 7 Series is an F01/F02 and the new 3 Series is an F30.
@DC89 While it's true new BMWs and Audis are starting to look the same throughout their model range it's still obvious enough to tell whats what. Also, it doesn't matter what other people think it's your car and you have to enjoy it.
That used do be BMW's naming system some years ago. Today, there are only few models in their line-up where the name is related to the actual engine size. I'm also a bit confused since kyle has called this a 6-cylinder engine. It's actually a 2.0L-4cylinder, at least in the german 528i-model over here. But the engine line-up here is very different from the american one anyway. All their excellent diesels are missing
i know but the l6 has 240, not 258 and the turbo 4 has 241. the 30i cars which are no longer available because of the 35i has about 260hp or so. not hard to do some research lol
you 're right this is the staight 6 but they switched to a 2.0 4cyl twin turbo in late 2011 (november or december) the 6cyl had 258hp and the new 4cyl 245hp
@DC89 Especially since they both have the unsightly hood cut line where it doesn't end in a styling element but it is much more visible on the new 3 series
Saabkyle04 forgot the 2012 BMW 535d. I think that's the best engine to this car (preformance/economy). 3.0 litre I-6 turbodiesel which produce 313 HP and a lot (465 lb/ft) of Torque! Please make a video with this version (if it's in USA?)
the 35i has 306hp and the 28i I6 hasn't 240 but 258hp as I said and the 30i had 272hp the "new" 28i has 245hp and I mean HP not BHP but theire is only a small difference and in Europe we also have BMW Diesel cars the most of them have a twin turbo like the new 20d, the 25d, the 35d or tri-turbo like the M550d, 750d, X5/6 M50d with 381hp
I checked and it's not in US market :( Maybe it could be for 2014 model because now Mercedes offers an E-class before facelifting. In Europe there is a facelifted model with this engine (and V6 and V8 petrol engines and of course diesels: 2.2 I-4 CDI and 3.0 V6 CDI).
It used to be, BMW and Mercedes do this because some of those numbers have historic meanings or so... Mercedes calls it normal high performance 63 models (C63, E63,...) but there isn't a 6,3 under the hood... It's just so you could say you drive a 528i of 550i so people know how powerful the engine is.
Additionally on my choice to go with a 535i, is that these inline 6 motors are pretty reliable, get good mpg, and I felt that a 5 series always deserves an inline 6. The inline-6 is also a bit lighter than the v8, providing some positives in the handling and performance category, and it is not as hard on the front suspension. Albeit, you have to consider the whole package of the car. Going back to the original models of BMW, inline 6 was their bread and butter. I believe it is still the case even with the other great options now. Also, I did not want adaptive suspension or the dynamic handling package. These both add systems to the car that could break, including extra features related to the shocks, and an additional electric motor on the sway bar. I wanted traditional suspension for less to go wrong, with the personal addition of shocks and sway bars with the goal of some handling characteristics that would be similarly equivalent to an M5 in sport mode.
the 2010-present BMW 5 Series is assembled in Dingolfing, Germany Cairo, Egypt Toluca, Mexico Rayong, Thailand Shenyang, China Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia Chennai, India Jakarta, Indonesia
I don't like what bmw did to the E-brake will m5 drift better? The mid console storage isn't that good also the trunk has that full auto opening so if you hit it by accident your screwed and no spare or a thin spare. It weighs more than a 2003 540i MSport its slower and gets the M-Sport package which should only be on the V8 5 series or turbo 6 bmws IMO. I do like the Mpgs. OMG did just bmw drop a I-4 Turbo for 2012 528i.
I want to know about the rear facia. Can't you get it to match the rest of the car? I've seen white cars with black facias and it looks ugly. Iv'e also seen some that have a little lip that sticks out. Maybe that's a 2012 feature?
Those numbers used to indicate engine displacement, but not anymore, since about 10 years ago. 528i's (F10) engine is 2-liter TwinTurbo that delivers 240 horsepower. Spectacular BMW engine.
Hey Kyle, i've noticed in your videos that some cars you filmed you mentioned the tires are filled with nitrogen. I know nitrogen is lighter than ogygen but does it make a difference in performance?
@slyguyaction I think he uses the same opening footage each time he goes there notice the same red f150 that goes by and his roadmaster moves across the parking lot take a close look ;)
One of the best car review i ever seen. Still watching in 2020
This car is absurdly well built and designed.
Robert Bidochon it’s a Beemer. That’s why.
Not so much with engine reliably but this one is the most reliable 21st century BMW
@@PreciousAlpschindler oh trust me BMW’s are pretty much bulletproof if you maintain them correctly.
@@Jdplayz-bq4ys I 100% agree!!!
@@Jdplayz-bq4ysAgreed. I had. 2011 20,000 miles and took it to 100k no problem. All you literally have to do is drive it like a normal person and do all your maintenance on time.
Damn that's still a really nice car even in 2020
It has the rare Inline 6 cylinder NA engine in the F10. It was only offered for 2011 before they started coming with the 4 cylinder N20 engine.
2010 also i own a 528i executive and it has the n53 3.0 NA engine, amazing car even at 260k km
My n52 is at 185,000km@@spinningbars7723
Damn that's still a really nice car even in 2017
Fr
Yes it is
my dad has this car without the sport package and if you take good care of them they are actualy quite reliable.
@icon5585
Actually no it doesn't. The 4cyl turbo is in the 2012 model year. This video is of a 2011 which still has the inline 6 natural aspiration.
Probably the best Bang for your buck the car hasn’t have a single bad thing about it
Looking to buy this at 2024 for my daily driver. Seems like one of the most reliable bmw
“Corona headlight rings” oh man
Great review dude
`Saab Kyle you have the best car review on youtube....
Very professional review , The bmw has allways been a quality built car.
got this car in silver with beige leather used, beatiful car
I saw one of these today at a BMW dealer. Very pretty car! I love it.
Realy one and only good f10 review i have found. Especially the adaptive diving mode buttons is great because couldnt find any other reviews. Thanx for your review i will buy a 528i
My everyday vehicle! Awesome video bro.
Most helpfull thanks, one of the best forecourt car reviews i ever watched "Still watching in 2024", thanks again, hope your'e still succesfully moving the stock👌👌👌
That's how you do a in depth tour. Well Done!
Theres something about that BMW chime...just LOVE IT. Wish I could put it in my VW lmao
its honestly not that bad, my dad has a 2011 model. its hit 70k km and runs great
Beautiful car!
N52 engine + that ZF 8-speed are a great combination. Just wish it had better steering.
KevinTheFirefighter where'd you get the n52 being unreliable? I had my 328i with an n52 no problems with it.
The N52 is generally regarded as much more reliable than any of the turbo engines BMW makes. The only real issue with it was the lifter tick which was resolved.
+Kevin only a fucking fool thinks the N55 is more reliable than the N52
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!, they are so helpful. Keep making more.
CONGRATS ON 1,300 VIDEOS!!!
Really good review man!
Thank you Kyle! :D Your videos are great.
23 City/32 highway, thats some pretty good gas mileage for a luxury car of this size. The EPA gave my 2002 Camry 4-cylinder the same estimated mileage.
Ohh how I Miss the Naturally aspirated version of the 3.0 I6 XD!!!
I missed the naturally aspirated BMW S85 V10
From The M5 & M6 Hell YEAH!! THAT TOO!!
+Julian Bigay if only engine swapping is legal in California I would totally buy the F10 and swap it with the S85.
Briljant Car. Nice work
Simple naturally aspirated six cylinder, no dual clutch transmission, rear wheel drive, not too many gizmos or gadgets, the best used BMW for sure!
Such a great car! Looking forward to get it !!!
keep it up kyle. congrats for helping the kid
Those are some real wide-opening doors!

This car is on autovista on forza motorsport 4 and I love it!!! Thanks Kyle for the review!
Love the back lights. Front lights are okay.
Nice car!
I WANT THAT CAR!!!!!!!!!
the only thing differen tbetween this and the 535 is the engine, right?
HighMagnitudeGT ya
No, the engine, the leather, power trunk, wheels, and options
That used do be BMW's naming system some years ago. Today, there are only few models in their line-up where the name is related to the actual engine size.

I love it,but expensive to buy, please show me the position of the hand brake
i know but the l6 has 240, not 258 and the turbo 4 has 241. the 30i cars which are no longer available because of the 35i has about 260hp or so. not hard to do some research lol

Reminds me of the older cars they used to make.
you 're right this is the staight 6 but they switched to a 2.0 4cyl twin turbo in late 2011 (november or december)

Do you recommend this on 2019 ? I kinda wonna buy one of these .. The 2011 model
Get one from 98-02. Way better than newer ones.
Kerby The Slayer no newer ones are better because they have safety features
@@kerbytheslayer6181 i have the 1990 model
All of the years of BMW 5 series are great, they each have their strong suits. YES I would recommend a 2011 model 528i in 2019.
Yes sadly the only BMW diesels we have over here in America are the X5 35d, and we used to have the E90 335d, until the F30s came out.
i guess you mean the M550d. That surely would be interesting, but i think they unfortunately don't offer this model over there in america.
Saabkyle04 forgot the 2012 BMW 535d. I think that's the best engine to this car (preformance/economy). 3.0 litre I-6 turbodiesel which produce 313 HP and a lot (465 lb/ft) of Torque! Please make a video with this version (if it's in USA?)

I don't fancy the power outlet between the cup holders. The sometimes slop and it could get messy or electrically shorty even.
Hey Kyle, it is actually a 2.0 liter, 4 cylinder engine...just checked on BMW'S website!!!
NO its not. In the US in 2011 it was still the old 6 inline
@blues03 In regards to your comment about the horn, he only hit it for a short honk.. when you really press it, it sounds pretty nice

Looks like a 3 series. Hey, does Hendrick BMW have a "Tent Event" every time you film there?
no the f10 is a 3.0 L engine or the newer ones are 2.0T engines
it looks very nice, how much is it in the states?

@saabkyle04 im SUPER curious of which car youd choose to daily drive, considering youve been in and out of a wide variety of cars!
Someone school me.... are the 528i, 535i, and 550i the same car but different engines ? Or are some of the bumpers different ? Anything.
Same car, different engines, you'll get different bumpers with the M-sport exterior package.
tubejorrit thanks for the help

@bbbyeo cool i have a mercedes, but i like the start up noise of the electronic chime when you start it up on the bmw
1:49 ok but I love the horn
I don't like what bmw did to the E-brake will m5 drift better?

For some reason, the turn signal ticker sound just sounds...idk. Different. In a good way, though.
I want to know about the rear facia. Can't you get it to match the rest of the car? I've seen white cars with black facias and it looks ugly. Iv'e also seen some that have a little lip that sticks out. Maybe that's a 2012 feature?
actually the 2011 models are a 3L l6, 2012+ is a turbo 4. my dad has a 2011 528i and its an l6
Is that for the 2014 model? Because the current 2013 model year only offers 6 and 8 cylinder engines
Kyle is F10 series 5 BMW came whit manual transmition or only whit automatic ? :)
Does he have a video on 520d? F10?
@slyguyaction It was obviously an older dealership clip...
Is the 2012 5 series also coming out?
I wish you could have done the e60 version
Pleeease make a review of an M 545d !
So in a nutshell, whats better the M5 or this 5 series M-Sport?
@hggf25 before you go talking like you know what your talking about, the 2011/2012 m5 has not been released for the US market yet.
Those numbers used to indicate engine displacement, but not anymore, since about 10 years ago. 528i's (F10) engine is 2-liter TwinTurbo that delivers 240 horsepower. Spectacular BMW engine.
Wish I had this car :(
So what’s the difference between this 2011 528i and the 2016 528i.... They both look EXACTLY the same inside and out
Hey Kyle, i've noticed in your videos that some cars you filmed you mentioned the tires are filled with nitrogen. I know nitrogen is lighter than ogygen but does it make a difference in performance?
Probably not
It's just the M-Sport package, it just makes a few changes with the interior and rims.
how much does that specific 5 series cost with all the packages?
i like the 5 series
Yes the turbos at that year had many defects
I want this car
Nice 👍🏻
Could you do a 2010-2011 toyota prius please? cheers :)
in depth tour of the 2011 RANGE ROVER VOUGE SUPERCHARGED please!!!!!!!!!!
Think ima get this car
My car has manual self closing doors ;)
@saabkyle04 there is a twin turbo version make 500 horse power
@slyguyaction I think he uses the same opening footage each time he goes there notice the same red f150 that goes by and his roadmaster moves across the parking lot take a close look ;)
is there a "saabkyle" for motorcycle reviews??....
Merc should have a four cylinder option for the E-Class like BMW with the 528i and Audi with the A6 2.0T
They do.e200 kompressor
Rear blinkers is red or orange?
