Powertrain
The F10 has, for the European market at least, a choice of 7 engines: the N63 4.4 litre twin-turbo V8 topping the range in the 550i, followed by a trio of straight-6 petrols. Despite many rumours to the contrary, BMW's second best selling model after the 3 series does not use any 4 cylinder petrol engines this time round. Instead, BMW has retained, for the time being at least, a trio of straight 6 engines, completing the petrol engine range. Straight six engines offer superior refinement over their 4 cylinder counterparts, as well as being the trademark BMW engine which has featured in many of the company's most successful cars: the E28 and E34 M5, E36 and E46 M3, plus the iconic BMW E26 M1.
The 535i has the 306 hp (228 kW)/295 lb ft(400 N m) BMW N55 engine which made its debut in the F07 5-series GT, and will shortly find its way into the facelifted BMW E92 and E93. As before there are two naturally aspirated straight-6 engines; for North America the ValvetronicN52B30 3.0 litres, 240 bhp for the 528i; and in Europe the direct gasoline injection N53 3.0 litres, 258 bhp for the 528i, and 3.0 litres and 204 bhp for the 523i, same outputs as the BMW E89 Z4 sDrive23i.
The four petrol engines are complemented by three diesel engines. Despite rumours to the contrary, BMW only offers one 4 cylinder engine, the 520d. This means that the 525d continues to offer the superior mechanical refinement of a straight six as opposed to the rumoured 523d with 4 cylinders. The 525d is joined by a 530d; both models use the same BMW N57 3.0 litre engine, the 525d has 204 hp (152 kW) and 450 N m, the 530d with 245 hp (183 kW) and 540 N m of torque.
There will be a choice of a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission or six-speed manual gearbox for all engines.
Unlike the E60, xDrive will only be available on turbocharged gasoline engine models, and for the first time this excludes the entry-level North American model (528i) but includes the range-topping V8 model (550i).
