2016 BMW 528i | an average guy's review 

That’s awesome!! I drove this vehicle from New York to Jackson, MI during a blizzard and it performed like a champ! Congratulations and enjoy the ride! 🖐🏽

Have you had any problems I’m thinking about getting one

It really is a dream machine- enjoy! Happy New Year!

+thanks for the correction 👍🏼 and thanks for watching Mcypress5 M

What you are saying is partly incorrect. The wood is real (veneers) and you CAN get BMWs with real leather or faux leather (formerly "leatherette" now rebranded as " SensaTec"). Great review!

Donna Peroche Leatherette is better than leather in literally every way.

😂😂😂

You can thank value engineering for that. 🖐🏽

😂

The ultimate driving machine 👍🏽

My 535 D gets just as good gas mileage as the 528. Definitely look into the diesel!

+I hear you - I like the intuitive nature of the touch screen over i drive. You must have more brain capacity than me :) thanks for watching! Who

+👍🏽 get the keys! Mr Swamzi

Thanks for watching!

Right

There’s a different seat for everyone

@@averageguytested I almost bought a great Beemer yesterday until I test drove it and had the exact same problem. the seat adjustments should allow shorter people to move the seat up to a more comfortable and safer position but it does not. Even with my seat cushion that I use in my Audi I still wasnt high enough to see clearly over the dash. You perhaps answered an important question for me and that is, does the 338i and the 5 series give you more options to adjust the seat? Seems like the answer is NO. I will have to buy a thicker cushion if I buy this car. I do wish you discussed other features but maybe thats not what you like to do in your reviews. idk.

+thanks👍🏽Ja M

Ja M correct but it is a single twin-scroll turbocharger, a lot of people hear "twin" and think it means 2. A twin-scroll turbo gathers exhaust from pairs of cylinders in alternating sequence instead of 1 at a time. The reason for the twin-scroll is to eliminate turbo lag and as a proud owner of a 2016 528i xDrive I can say there is minimal turbo lag but the 256lb ft of torque you receive at only 1100 rpms really puts this car ahead of the previous 6cyl naturally aspirated 528i models in terms of power, speed. It is an awesome car and a great daily driver, I think if you are in the market for a bmw the new 4cyl twin scroll engines are a great option that captures that true bmw feel without costing you an arm and a leg!

+yes - soon :) pedro fernandez

+national, budget and sometimes enterprise dodge charger

I believe the reliability is decent, but repairs are costly. Check consumer reports to be sure. 👍🏽

Thanks for watching! I never talk about reliability because I don’t do long term testing. Consumer Reports does a great job with reliability statistics on every vehicle. Check them out 👍🏽

They also publish reliability statistics over the life of a car and go back about 10 years.

theMediaMart thank you for the reply. I’ll check consumer reports out.

👍🏽

Check out edmunds.com for real-world stats. Thanks for watching!

BMWs are pricey to repair and aren’t know for being the most reliable vehicles. I’d have it checked out by a mechanic before you buy.

theMediaMart Ah yes I was planning to get it checked by my cousin who is a mechanic and used to own a bmw 7 series.

Lalalalalala Lalalalalala does this model have ambient lighting?

Heck yeah!

Good for a 12th car too

I hear you.

@@averageguytested I might look at a used 2016 5 Series in a few days. Under 50k miles ok?

Get one from the 98-02 better than this "5" series.

@@kerbytheslayer6181 98-02? Great scott! ( Back to the Future joke ).👍

@@kerbytheslayer6181 I dont like the look of 5 series before 2011

😂

@@averageguytested nice reviews nonetheless

Yes - it’s a rental.

+it has plenty of power, but I hear you, bro. pedro fernandez

Fake power and fake wood? What kind of luxury car is this? Give me an M5 with its 10 cylinder beast and send all my money to the middle east.

Greets, Pedro. I hear you, but among luxury cars, a 2.0L 4 cylinder turbo is the standard base engine. Lexus, Infiniti, Audi, Jaguar, and even Mercedes all have this type of engine.

Pedro Fernandez~~You are so right! Faux wood is unacceptable at this price!

+ agreed. Maybe it was real wood? pedro fernandez

Even if it used Viagra, it would be considered real wood.

David Malinovsky smart man, are you a gtr fan btw,? because that is what they do

+hmm send me the E Class for my next review :) Boots N Pants

Boots N Pants Ugh Benz people on a bmw video ! Every Benz sedan has had the same look since 2003

lol benzs r for grandparents ---- no style whatsoever

+I've heard. It looked Faux to me. My bad. S & N Welch

I have this exact model it is real it has a protective layer on it is why

The seat actually goes higher you have to push the button twice and hold and it'll extend higher and the lumbar is the cricular button. .. The sports+ more is awwwwsome....

Ha ha - thanks for watching! I really enjoyed my time in the 528 for sure.

I just spent a couple of days in the 2021 740i - what a smooth ride.

+agreed!skyler mchale

skyler mchale that’s because Audi and Mercedes just launched brand new models and this is end of its production line being last generation. The new 5 series is in a different league to this one

+i'm in your camp. B Blackwell

It's like 15k used now it's a pretty good car

Yeah I like the ford fusion sync 3 inside, this looks the same for how many years now

Bad?

@@averageguytested yes

#Truth

I disagree. Sensa tec wears like iron. I special ordered mine to get it. Its great!

Turbo

Despite it being a 2.0 4 cylinder, I've heard good things. And you can get them remarkably less than the 535 or 550. I'm still looking. Haven't decided yet.

This model it’s way more reliable than the 535. You don’t need more power on this type of car, for its refinement and composed character will meet the expectations if not exceeding them; Flawless in its category

Alcantara Interior hey man, I’m about to get this gen 528i vs 535i, would you say for sure that the 528i is more reliable?

Alan Rohadi by far. Don’t get me wrong, the 535 is a blast with the N54 motor that comes with it is a blast to drive (same motor in the 335), great power from factory. My suggestion for you is to visit the forums online like “Bimmer world” among others where you’ll be able to find various testimonies in reference on this topic. Very helpful info. Just think of the 535 as a “diy wrencher” in order to save a lot of money. Is almost and endless money pit of a car; too much power it everything plastic along w a bunch of electrical gremlins.

+ha ha. No hemi BMan100

You’re not that funny either. Believe me.

I never said I was.

You didn’t have to.

Shut the hell up. And what an idiot you must be to like comments that are insulting. I can't wait for the reply to this one. Oh and don't forget to like and give me that stupid little heart.
