The 2008 BMW 5 Series is already at dealerships, but it doesn’t look much different than the outgoing 2007. For the new 528 and 535 models, there are considerable engine upgrades and a slight price bump as well.
The 528 comes in sedan form only, as a 528i (rear-wheel drive) and a 528xi (all-wheel drive) while the 535 sports those two sedan trims, 535i and 535xi, as well as an all-wheel-drive 535xi sports wagon. The 525 gets a 15-hp bump over the outgoing 525 to 230 hp, while the 535 has a totally new power plant: a twin-turbo six-cylinder producing 300 hp and 300 pounds-feet of torque.
The 550i remains the top of the line with the same 360-hp V-8 engine from last year and an improved automatic transmission. Its prices remain unchanged. Full pricing on all three models below.
