Looks like there will be a big gap between 320i and 328i if there is no more 323i/325i.

I'm glad that my family got 2 inline-sixers recently - an F10 528i and an E63 630i :
Such a pleasure to drive.

I believe most E63 630i cars, if not all are using the N52 engine which has a magnesium and aluminum crankcase.
I think the M54 was never used in the 630i.

Read about the 6th Generation BMW 3-Series.

I was at Auto Bavaria today .... they aren't selling the 523i and and 3.0L 528i anymore .... the replacements are the 2.0L 520i and the 2.0L 528i M Sport.

Latest F10 5-Series model range:
520i - 2.0L inline-4 turbo, 184hp/270Nm, 0-100 in 8.0 seconds, RM 358,800 (OTR without insurance)
528i M Sport - 2.0L inline-4 turbo tuned higher to 245hp/350Nm, 0-100 in ~6.3 seconds, RM 409,800 (OTR without insurance)
535i - 3.0L inline-6 turbo 306hp/400Nm 0-100 in ~6.1 seconds, RM 598,800 (OTR without insurance)

Yes, it's real .... BMW Club Malaysia's gathering in 2007 if I'm not mistaken.

Some latest news:


BMW Recalls All 2003-2010 5-Series and 6-Series

We not usually cover automotive recalls on Autoviva. There is always a recall going on, and they do not necessarily point to a car's overall quality. However, this is a big one. BMW is recalling all 2003 to 2010 5-series and 6-series cars due to the incorrect mounting of the battery cable cover in the trunk. The recall affects about 1.3 million cars worldwide.

If this problem is left unfixed, it can cause electrical system malfunctions, the car not starting and the possibility of fires. Although, BMW claims that it knows of no examples of anyone being injured because of the problem.

BMW will contact owners by mail soon, and they can bring the car in for free service for the recall.

Free BMW 5 and 6 Series car inspections for glitch

PETALING JAYA: Owners of BMW 5 and 6 Series built between 2003 and 2010 have been advised to send in their vehicles for inspection.

This follows a report on Monday that BMW AG was recalling about 1.3 million cars for repairs worldwide due to a possible fault with the battery cable cover in the boot.

BMW Group Malaysia managing director Geoffrey Briscoe said no accident or injury had been reported due to the technical fault in Malaysia or abroad.

“Being proactive in this circumstance as well as for our customers’ peace of mind, we welcome our customers to visit any of our 15 authorised BMW service centres nationwide to get their vehicles inspected.

“The process will not take longer than 30 minutes and at no cost to the customer,” he said yesterday.

Briscoe said those who bought the 5 and 6 series models built within that period through unauthorised or “grey” importers should also have their vehicles checked immediately at an authorised BMW service centre.

According to a Reuters report quoting BMW AG on Monday, the battery cable cover inside the boot of these vehicles may be incorrectly mounted in some cases.

“This can result in the electrical system malfunctioning, the vehicle failing to start and, in some cases, to charring or fire,” the company said.

BMW said markets affected by the recall include the United States, Germany, Britain and China.

Fewer than 1% of the cars BMW has so far inspected for the issue have exhibited the problem, a BMW spokesman said.
