I have this exact same 2011 car and it is terrific. You dont need 4 wheel drive in my opinion unless you live in snow country. Use the correct gas and approved spec oil. This year was great because it has the straight 6 engine and NO turbo. This was the only year for this model and engine. I will never sell mine.

@@raybutts9133 That’s true! People tend to cheap out on their vehicles when everything seems to be going fine! BMW’s in particular are meant to be performance vehicles, so anybody buying one is usually trying to enjoy it to the max! The brand also seems to attract a lotta young drivers, who may tend to cut-corners when it comes to maintenance! However, BMW seems to also cheap out by utilizing a lot of plastic in the engine bay, knowing well that people will be pushing their vehicles to their limits! They’ve unfortunately become notorious for oil leaks due to that reason!
@@davidburton7403 yo just have to keep it dry don’t get the interior wet or anything like that, if kept up with it’s a good car with good reliability if you treat it with respect
@@davidburton7403 how many miles and what year? I want a first car and I really don’t know what to decide on between the 128, 328, and 528/535. The 1 and 3 series I’m thinking about coupe/convertible models
0-60 mph in 6.4 seconds is not fast. You are right. It is QUICK! Do you know the difference? Oil leaks? Sure, if you don't do maintenance. The thing about major repairs is that you only have to do them once every five years or more. I agree with you about black interiors. Center armrest is an improvement over the E39. Anything but a turbo, thank you.
everyone likes different things bro, why do u think theres so many cars ? two door, sedans, suv, trucks, super fast, slow, fuel efficient, v8. its all about what you want for your hard earned money !
I’m seriously considering on gripping this ride, never owned a BMW before but after seeing some reviews regarding this car online people are saying it’s an expensive lemon and a huge waste of money and engine is bad… BMW owners, should I buy one?? Will I regret it? 🤔
Yes you should buy one I got one two years ago for 7k 2011 f10 all black 528i perfect condition 95k miles it now has 148k miles never one problem and it now makes 516whp and surprise everyone
I have the same car I would say the 535 is more of the sweet spot as it’s reliability isn’t too bad the 11 528 is a solid piece it has almost no problems but I most definitely wouldn’t say the 550 isn’t much faster as even the 535 is far quicker and the 550 is a whole different game that car is indeed fast
@@andrewnunnes i think 550i is v8, 550d is the same as 535d a v6, 535i 528i from f11 are the same exept 1 Turbo and software and meybe some parts different for that extra 60hp
Not like the previous 6 cylinder. The main issue with this engine is oil pump, and chain is getting stretched, sometimes turbo , I've been told that is preventable with good maintenance and quality oil and filters ..
A relible money pit comes whit some hideen problems here and there its a great investment to go broke whit a big serious problem and it can be yours one day dont miss this fun and great chance to get the cancer you always wanted 🤣
Hey man I have the same exact car I have a question after driving half an hour on the freeway the oil engine temperature goes to the half is that normal. And in city is less than half. Thank you
BMW’s don’t make v6’s they make inline 6’s and u are right about the n20 engines but they fixed their timing chain issues in 2015 so everything past 2015 was ok
Great video! Your a natural, if you put in a quick intro and original outro, you'd definitely double your views.
Thank you sir! Really appreciate your feedback
Yes, you should, I own one and I looove it. 6 4 secs from 0 to 100 km is not fast? Of course it is!
Mine has a great kick!!!! Luxury w/o the hefty price tag!!! Love! Love! Love her!
The 2011 528i is the best bmw ever
New body but still got the natural 6 cylinder tough engine
2012 and up the put the 4 cylinder piece of shit in it

@@ntwalipat2 Yes leaks do occur too often. All cars have too much plastic not just BMW.
what's the correct gas? high octane?

She does pick up really nice for every day driving
This is rear wheel drive . How it’s holds road on winter time? Snow or rain? I’m gonna buy one but only thinking about that
rain is pretty good. for snow your going to want it to melt
Yes. Let me watch a review even though I already bought it 😂
🤣🤣 Im doing the same I was really looking for a 2013 charger into my wife wanna talk about getting the bmw
Lol 6.4 seconds 0-60 for a big sedan like this with only 240 hp is very fast actually
Meh, not in 2022
@@MasryMotors gotta consider that a 2022 530i does 0-60 in only half a second less, 6.4 isn't bad
@@pchimpinnactually a full second less
Is getting from zero to 60 in so many seconds really that important? I've never considered that as a buying point.

I have one it’s ridiculous
What engine does the 550 and 535i have? I know the 528i has a reliable engine but are the others reliabel
And by that I mean the N engine models like how the 528 has an N55

the 535i is shit the n55 is so bad lmao
What about 2014 528i?
0-60 IN 6.4 = not fast?
I'm confused about that as well
Great video man well done
Thanks for watching!
Why did I watch a BMW commercial before watching this Video 😂😂
I need one. The 3 series is cool but too small for me
In the UK this same age car is a 2.0 V4 with a turbo?? Sounds like that’s a V6 NA
Yes Inline 6
hey buddy i ve got a question which items about engine are important to pay attention to when trying to buy used 528i?
coolant and oil leaks
Mine is the N20 engine and I replaced the timing chain kit early this year. Do u think it’s good to last?
N20 was a horrible engine
I just got this car but can I put it into sport or not ? What’s the ms for ?
Do you know is it possible to retrofit folding rear seats for an F10?
My dealer friend has one with 130,400 miles on it for 10k i think i just might finance it 😍😍
What was the actual problem that created the high pitched sound? You didn't say what it was .
Bro reallly appreciate it 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
Could you please tell where the power steering fluid is located and what type of oil to use. I have a 2011 528i
Very informative review. Thank you.
Great work
I would love to help your audio with canceling the wind noise
It would be super pleasing to hear just your voice
I have same it right now and it's perfect
Awesome, enjoy!
Thanks alot for this Sir!
Thanks for watching!
@@MasryMotors am actually planning to get one tomorrow !!! I can't wait to have it; fingers crossed.

Is it reliable ?
Not like the previous 6 cylinder.

no loo
if the price is right,and it's clean, besides I don't think you would keep this car for more than 5 to 6 years, sure enjoy it for a few years
I want one for the New Year coming
Great car
Yes I love it
….question: I noticed that you used the word “new” to describe the the design….especially it’s a decade old design.
