Showrooms are now displaying the new 2008 BMW 5 Series. We have waited for this moment, right? I mean, when it was first announced, we wondered what kind of car parts and BMW exclusive parts will be used on the vehicle. And now, the car we all have been waiting for is finally revealed and is now set out on display in different dealerships.
However, the new cars were nothing much different than then outgoing 2007. The two new car models were the new 535 and the 528 models. These two new car models received upgrades and some tune ups to get that perfect look and real time great car performance.
The BMW 528 is a four door sedan and its 528i version is a rear-wheel drive as compared to its all wheel drive version - the 528xi. There are also two sedan trims which are the 535xi and the 535i under a sporty image, plus an all wheel drive 535xi sports wagon.
A powerful new 150 horsepower is the new strength of the outgoing 525 while a larger 230 horsepower is given to the 525. 300 lbs-ft of torque plus 300 units of horsepower is produced from the twin-turbo six-cylinder which is going to be part of the 535’s new power plants.
The top of the line 550i will still have the V-8 engine which is capable of producing 360 horsepower which has improved its automatic transmission but still thrives on the same price.
