Four engines are offered, including the 255-hp, 413-lb-ft diesel engine. The three others are the 4. 4-liter V8 in the 550i (445 hp, 480 lb-ft), 3. 0-liter inline-six (300 hp, 300 lb-ft) and the 240-hp turbocharged four, which carries over in the 528i.

A group of BMW Efficient Dynamics technologies are standard, including a coasting mode, brake-energy regeneration, auto stop/start and eco pro mode, which ratchets down the fun stuff, and doubles up on the economy. The front double wishbones and integral rear axle are made from aluminum, which BMW says allows the suspension to respond with more precision. Source: autoweek.com
