Time to celebrate the last naturally aspirated 5-Series in the US.

T he 2011 F10 528i with the N52 was the very last bastion of naturally aspirated goodness the 5-Series line had in store for us.

What a good car.

Fun fact, a green 1997 E39 528i was the first BMW I ever drove.

Mine was a 2014 316i 6MT. 

Full of the sound of the Gran Fury, signifying nothing. > E90M3 05/28/2019 at 11:36

That is pretty much everything I loved about BMW summed up in one picture. I wish I had gotten an E39 instead of that dull W210...

The N52/ZF8 combo is definitely up there as far as daily driving BMW powertrains. Unfortunately, it never found its way into anything I would own.

One of the smoothest engines of the past decade with one of the smoothest transmissions.

Outstanding.
