Steptronic Supercharged September 5, 2012 Share September 5, 2012 Iam quite baffled then. since 520 is also twin turbo like 528, how did they achieve the difference in the bigger bhp and better 0-100 for 528 as the engine capacity is the same? Tuning and valvetronics make wonder for 528! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beanoyip Turbocharged September 5, 2012 Share September 5, 2012 Between, 328 and 528, which one you felt handles better? Both chassis are different. I think the 328 is more suited for the younger generation, whereas the 528 aimed at the family oriented. 528 didn't perform too badly in terms of handling. The heavier body makes it more sturdy.

Viceroymenthol 6th Gear September 5, 2012 Share September 5, 2012 Tuning and valvetronics make wonder for 528! Bro! If only it were that simple. The hardware like intercooler and exhaust manifold make a big difference too! I hope you did not buy the 520i thinking that a mere re-mapping will turn your car into a 528i....

Viceroymenthol 6th Gear September 5, 2012 Share September 5, 2012 I've plenty of friends and neighbors who own BMW 335i, 740Li, 535i. I don't need to go down to the showroom to test drive. But if I do, I'm sure PML's friendly sales people will welcome me for a test drive. I don't need you to intro a SE. They may be your friends but are you their friend or not?

Jenius81 1st Gear September 5, 2012 Share September 5, 2012 (edited) WHat do you mean by this? what way it spoils the image? For your info, it is more powerful than previous 523 IL-6 It is not cheap also leh. About 15k difference from 528 after discount. Anyone that buy car with skg plate is rich. Even if there's a 316 or 314 it's also v ex. And there's plenty of image even though the cars are base spec models. Just ignore proton neutron. He only memorizes specs and talks of stuff like il6 good 4 pot no good, etc. he will also tell u one car is better than the other purely by comparing their specs on Wikipedia Edited September 5, 2012 by Jenius81 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously their 2.5l engine also tuned differently + different hardware. Same engine, diff outputs for 523 and 525 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are all aware that the BMW IL-6 engine is one of the best around but comsumer has little choice now that BMW has stopped production for the IL-6 but went with TC for the entry level. I owned a E90 320i and I am a badge whore ..... it may be a 4 potters but I am pretty with the performance. For people like proton, they can talk and talk ...... but at the end of the day ..... talk is free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
