If you didn't know it had a 4 cylinder, you wouldn't think it did. Strong suit appears to be mid-range thrust and passing performance.

Really?? Tts sth nice to know abt.. i should head out n test the I-4 on the 528i asap.. if its really good i guess the 528 will sell well jus like wad audi did to their 2.0T. I might be tempted to trade mine for it if its tt good.. =]
