Hi All,Saw the specs on the 528i, it says the engine is a 1997 cc engine, i thought that 528 would have a 2.8 liter or 3.0 liter engine, anyone care to comment on this ?Would it mean that the car is actually a 520 ? rather under powered ?Thanks

CKD 528i with 2 litres 4 cylinders turbo; recond uk 528 would be 3 litres. Correct me if wrong..

On the contrary, the 1997cc engine has a twin scroll turbo that produces even more power than the 3 litre engine.

Heres a brief write-up by Paul Tan on the change in petrol engine for F10 beginning end of 2011.
