For years, the 528 has bridged the gap between comfort and excitement – it's just the right mix of performance, luxury and everyday usability. The BMW 528, a notable fixture in the respected 5 Series line, was produced mainly between the mid-1990s and late 2010s. The 2010-2017 ‘F10’ generation proved particularly popular. This model is known for its lively, straight-six petrol engine, high-standard equipment and real-world practicality. For business drivers and families alike, it offers a sophisticated drive and a sense of prestige without showiness – a car that’s just as at home on the motorway as it is handling the school run. Compared to rivals like the Mercedes E-Class or Audi A6, the BMW 528 delivers a more dynamic, engaging drive yet remains comfortable and quiet. Expect high-quality interiors, logical controls and all the space most people need.
