New vehicles for 2008 BMW

BMW began selling its revised-for-2008 5-Series cars earlier this year, and the German automaker changed the name of its six-cylinder-powered, mid-size 5-Series cars to reflect larger, more powerful engines. Thus, the 525i became the 2008 528i, now with 230-horsepower,3-liter, six-cylinder engine, while the old 530i became the 2008535i with 300-horsepower, 3-liter, twin-turbo, six-cylinder engine.In fact, the addition of this twin-turbo power plant to the 2008BMW 535xi Sports Wagon makes it more powerful than the predecessor540i wagon with 290-horsepower V-8. BMW also updated the interiors of these sedans and wagons and adds optional Lane Departure Warning that subtly vibrates the steering wheel when it detects a driver might be wandering out of his or her lane. The smaller, but oh-so-performance-oriented M3 debuts in 2008 with its first-ever V-8, generating 414 horses from its 4 liters. Watch next spring for the launch of BMW's subcompact 1-Series, finally in the States. Initial models will be a 128i coupe with230-horsepower, 3-liter, inline, six-cylinder engine and a 135icoupe with 300-horsepower, 3-liter, turbocharged six cylinder.
