My 528i
THE BMW 528i.
A CAR THAT MEETS
THE DEMANDS OF THE 80's
WITHOUT VIOLATING
THE CONCEPT OF A BMW.
Conventional automotive wisdom has it that any increase in a car's environmental control paraphernalia must inevitably result in a compromosing decrease in performance.

Indeed, many serious automotive writers have warned that pollution systems and fuel efficiency regulations have all but sounded the death knell for high-performance automobiles.

These gloomy predictions, however, do not take into consideration the determination of the engineers at the Bavarian Motor Works to build extraordinary automobiles.

Against all odds, the BMW 528i not only meets the demands of society, it also provides the kind of exhilarating driving experience that most people have all but given up for lost on today's luxury automobiles.

AMIDST INCREASING MEDIOCRITY, BMW GETS EVEN BETTER.

Press the accelerator and the

528i's fuel injected, six-cylinder, overhead cam engine responds in a manner that can only be described as exhilarating.

And yet, the 528i (with standard transmission) delivers an impressive 17 EPA estimate mpg, 26 estimated highway mileage and, based on these figures, an estimated mpg range of 279 miles and a highway range of 425 miles.

(Naturally our fuel efficiency figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage and range may vary, depending on speed, weather, and trip length. Your actual highway mileage and highway range will most likely be lower.)

Its four-speed manual transmission (automatic is available) runs smoothly and precisely up through the gears.

Its suspension system -- independent on all four wheels -- provides the driver with an uncanny feel of the road.

And, while the 528i provides as long a list of luxury items as one could sanely require -- AM/FM stereo cassette, full power accessories, air conditioning, etc -- its luxury is purposefully engineered to help prevent driver fatigue.

Vital controls are within easy reach, the tachometer, speedometer, and ancillary instruments are well-marked and easy to read.

Its front seats are designed to hold their occupants firmly in place, and are so thoroughly adjustable that it is all but impossible not to find a comfortable seating position.

If you'd care to judge the extraordinary performance of the 528i for yourself, phone your nearest BMW dealer and he will arrange a thorough test drive at your convenience.
THE ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE.
