2009 BMW 528 Overview
The old adage “Why change a good thing?” could have been referring to the 2009 BMW 528, a world-class mid-size luxury sedan that is unchanged for this year and anticipating a continued hero’s welcome.
Showcasing its roots as a true sports sedan to deliver quick-reacting acceleration and precise handling, the 528 offers buyers two trim options. Both the rear-wheel drive 528i and all-wheel drive 528xi pack a 3.0-liter inline-six engine underneath the hood that generates 230-horsepower and 200 pound-feet of torque. This vehicle is equipped with a standard six-speed manual transmission, and an optional six-speed automatic with Steptronic shifting is available.
Mentioned in the same breath as the likes of the Audi A6, Cadillac CTS, Jaguar XF and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the 528 has a beautiful exterior, comfortable and spacious interior, and handles superbly. It comes standard with 17-inch wheels, a sunroof, power front seats with driver memory and power headrests, leatherette vinyl upholstery, automatic climate control, BMW Assist telematics and the iDrive electronics interface. Fuel economy is very good in comparison to its segment, posting 17-18 mpg city and 25-28 mpg highway.
The 528 possesses one of the most commodious and comfortable cabins in its class. Rear-seat head- and legroom are also more than sufficient. The 14-cubic-foot trunk can hold a fair amount of cargo, and its loading entry is wide.
Safety is paramount in the 528 — it earns a full five stars for front passenger protection and front and rear side protection in government crash tests. Additional standard equipment includes stability control, antilock disc brakes, front-seat side airbags and front and rear side curtain airbags. An available lane-departure warning system alerts drivers if the vehicle veers out of its lane. Both Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control are standard.
With the many features and value that the 2009 BMW 528 has to offer, this car must be considered when you’re making your final purchase decision.
