  • Gem autos were gracious enough to lend me this 2013 bmw 528i. In the land of bmw the inline 6 3L engine is a legend. It is hard to replace it, but is the 2.0l turbo on par or better than the powerhouse?
    Hakman tests out the 528i to see if it really is or was a step in the right direction for bmw, and it's consumers.
    Check out Gem autos if you are looking for a Gem of a deal.

      Thank you for sharing your experience. German cars used to have a bad reputation of being unreliable, but it has changed alot in the last decade. Always good to see comments like yours since you had yours long term, and is running strong :)

    I own a 2013 528i RWD and it is my first car, i got it at around 70k miles n now it has 126k miles after 3 years of hard driving, honeslty love the car id highly recommend it, do ur research on the motor before purchasing one and def get a pre purchase inspection, timing chains are a big factor when buying these cars, but out of all the n20 motors ive seen in all my friends cars, havent seen em fail. Dumb things will go bad over time like the parking brake actuator, or the comfort access, but its never been a super expensive repair... id highly recommend it to people as a good daily. Drives so smooth n saves so much gas

      @@TareqShaheen-l2d engine sounds tried & u have a drive train, usually drive train means something is off, it can be something very simple or something complex, do you have a scanner? If so run it on the car and see what comes up, if not , id recommend getting it checked, most diagnostics should be 100-150, these cars aren’t super hard to figure out , I recommend coming back when they say what the issue is , or if u find out what the scanner says, scanner is a cheap route but it might not show ur exact issue

      The interior debate has always been more of a personal preference when it came down to Audi, BMW, and Mercedes. They all have their pros and cons, but if you like one you might not like the other.

    • @halfasskrew
      @halfasskrew  Před rokem +2

      Agreed. The linear power the 3.0 inline 6 pumped out in the low revs all the way to redline was much more enjoyable. These engines will surely be missed since most manufacturers have moved to 4 cyl turbos

    Don't fool yourself, the in-line 4 is just not satisfying for a big heavy car as the 5-series. The 5 series need the 6 cylinder in-line, the engine the car was designed for

      @halfasskrew  Před rokem

      Agree with your sentiment for 6 cylinder for the bmw 5 series. Personally, I'm a big fan of the inline 6, but the push towards smaller engines and EV has left us with limited options.

    The F10 528i 2.0T (N20) engine is more power dense than the 535i 3.0T (N55). But the N55 has more tuning potential than the N20. Personally I'd take the 528i with the 3.0 NA over the N20 2.0T
