Asked by SPerez_5 Apr 23, 2018 at 10:42 AM about the 2015 BMW 5 Series 528i Sedan RWD

Question type: Car Customization

1 Answer

7,745

The last two numbers are engine designations. Before they got a little nutty, the "28" used to stand for 2.8 liter. Now because car companies like BMW no longer care to make any sense, it indicates a 2.0 liter. Or that might be "30" now. Either way, it's an engine designation.
