This generation of the 5 Series, codenamed E60, marked a significant departure in design from its predecessors, introducing sharper lines, a more aggressive front fascia, and a more driver-focused interior. The 528xi specifically utilizes BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive system, providing enhanced traction and handling, particularly in challenging weather conditions. Powering this model is a naturally aspirated 3.0-liter inline-six engine generating 230 horsepower and 200 lb-ft of torque, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. This combination delivers a smooth and responsive driving experience, effortlessly cruising on the highway while providing ample acceleration when needed.

BMW's iDrive system, introduced in this generation, provides a centralized control for various vehicle functions, including navigation, audio, and climate control. While praised for its advanced features, iDrive initially received criticism for its complexity, but subsequent updates addressed these concerns. The 528xi also boasts a comprehensive suite of safety features, including multiple airbags, anti-lock brakes, and electronic stability control, ensuring a safe and secure driving environment.
