As fitted in the new F10 BMW 520i, the four-cylinder engine develops maximum power of 135 kW/184 hp at 5,000 rpm and peak torque of 270 Newton metres (199 lb-ft), which is available between 1,250 and 4,500 rpm. Instantaneous power response helps the BMW 520i Sedan perform the 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint in 7.9 seconds (automatic: 8.0 seconds)

In the new BMW 528i, with modified turbocharging and injection technology, the four-cylinder engine develops maximum power of 180 kW/245 hp at 5,000 through 6,500 rpm, and peak torque of 350 Newton metres (258 lb-ft), which is available between 1,250 and 4,800 rpm. 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) is accomplished in 6.2 seconds for the new BMW 528i Sedan (automatic: 6.3 seconds)

The diesels are even better:

The BMW 525d will get a new four-cylinder diesel engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology. This 2.0-litre all-aluminium unit features Variable Twin Turbo two-stage turbocharging and common-rail diesel injection with piezoelectric injectors. The new BMW 525d offers a 10 kW power increase over the previous model, developing 160 kW/218 hp at 4 ,400 rpm. The small turbocharger comes on stream at low engine speeds, while the contribution from the larger turbocharger varies in precise response to throttle requirements. 0-100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration times, which now stand at 7.0 seconds for the Sedan. Average fuel consumption is 5.0 ? 5.3 l/100 km (automatic: 4.8 ? 5.0 litres).

Hi, tanks for this update. Wht about the present 520d 184hp? Any improvement coming up?

Ricracing

"From autumn 2011, in parallel with the regular BMW 520d, an ultra-fuel-efficient version of this sedan will be offered: the BMW 520d EfficientDynamics Edition. With unchanged maximum power (135 kW/184 hp) and torque (380 Newton metres / 280 lb-ft), this model records average fuel consumption in the EU test cycle of 4.5 l/100 km (62.8 mpg imp) and CO2 emissions of 119 grams per kilometre."

But only with manual transmission.

Ok: i Will stick to standard 520d , hopefully with rtti and ecopro switching as standard...
Tanks !

Well, the 5 Series isn't able to compete with Audi A6 chassis-wise, so BMW upgrades engines. SIMPLY PATHETIC!

525d MSport

Check out the UK website, and you will see that the standard 520d has been improved too in terms of emissions and mpg. Power and torque remain the same...

If this douchbag is banned, how can he post this pathetic statement?

The reason I went ahead and bought my F10 yesterday is because I found out that the newer F10's, starting next month in Taiwan, will be four-cylinder. So I picked up the last SpaceGrey 6-cylinder car they have here in Taiwan..... I still prefer 6 over 4.....
