In countries like Serbia, we pay insurance by the cubic capacity of the engine (displacement). Cars with 2000 cc cost les than 250 euros to insure Cars with 3000 cc cost 1100 euros to insure (register), 5 times more than those with 2000cc. That's why the 528i is way better for some then the 530d. For 850 euros of the insurance costs difference, you can by more than then 500 liters of fuel each year. I don't think the 530d can save so much fuel trough fuel economy, but it will drain 850 euros more every year, just to get license plates for the car. So this one is the best value for the money for sure...
Ivan Žunić Almost the same in Greece but here it is worse for 2000cc 1800-2000cc : 330 euro 2000-2300cc : 660 euro and 2300-3000cc : 880 euro plus our petrol is more expensive I think 1.6 euros / 1 litre
I'm not sure to be honest, but the car has a top speed of 245km/h and hence is not limited. Depending on how much kilometers you drive I would buy the 530d, it provides better fuel economy and has 6-cylinders (smoother ride). If you still go for the petrol engine, I would rather suggest the 530i (if you can get one) or the 535i.
@@jakubkaplar8506 alls i'm saying is...the n20 is known to suffer from catastrophic failure of its timing chain and on models 2015 and prior it is more common. Imo an engine that suffers from catastrophic failure cant be a great engine. The B48 however, is quite good.
in which gear car reaches top speed - 6th gear? asuming in 8th gear it can easily cruise at about 4.5k rmps at 250kmh? powerful machine :) which one would you rather buy - 530d or 528i (taking math with ensurance etc.)?
Ik heb altijd liever een diesel, liever een 535d dan een 535i dus :-) Een diesel vind ik gewoon lekkerder/relaxter rijden, zal wel aan het hogere koppel liggen denk ik.
N20 engine has a simple design. Strong enough. But there is some weakness like plastic oil pan and other plastic parts. Also it is too noisy engie. Turbo shuddering sound, high pressure fuel pump knocking, injection hissing, tumbling, shaking... I burnt out one of n20 :(
Yeah when I got my 12 528 I thought it had rod knock or something, sometimes when its cold the engine is rough, when I park it in the driveway and its cold outside its not happy and it vibrates a little, weird engine but no problems so far 62k mls later, the top end is very good, its great on gas, extremely cheaper to insure than my GT Mustang and it handles better than any sedan in its class. Great car.

Shit hole
N20b20 4cyl 2ltr turbo petrol. Still does 260. Great underrated engines. Just like the m54b30.

Amazing car and engine , thanks for video
Our pleasure!
engine can grenade itself. So no, not really a great engine.
@@bobaphat3676 I don't agree with you mate. I drives my BMW 528i with N20 and have no such a problem like this.

Moin, das Fahrzeug war der 4-Zylinder met 2 Liter Motor, das stimmt.
Its full stock car?
Yes, it is full stock.
@@guitigefilmpjes oke thx
but I just saw a video the said the top speed of bmw 528i is just 130 mile
+deep singh In the US the BMWs (and other cars) are limited to that speed.
nope, ive done 135 in mine at the bottom of 7th gear. its a 14, f10
Nice
Is this engine strong and reliable ????
sputnic yes very
sputnic it's turbo charged. So it will be reliable only up to a certain time.

It sounds like a tractor due to high pressure fuel injection, you may think its a diesel
