2011 Bmw 520d: four-cylinder engine and 57.6mpg
As expected, Bmw revealed today the 2011 520d, an entry-level version of its latest sedan powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine capable to deliver an impressive fuel consumption of 57.6mpg (54.3mpg) and unrivalled emission levels of 129g/km (137g/km for automatic transmission-equipped cars).
Although many of you would believe that this engine is way too small for the new sedan, Bmw says that its 184 hp delivered at 4,000rpm and 380Nm from 1,900 to 2,750rpm are enough to push the car from 0 to 62 mph in just 8.1 seconds while the top speed achieved is 141 mph.
The engine can be mated to a manual transmission fitted with an Auto Start-Stop function but also to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
If the 520d is not enough for you, then you can choose the 530d with its 3.0-liter engine and 204 hp, the 530d with 245 hp and 44.8 mpg in combined cycle or the 535d flagship which will come with 300 hp, a naught to 62 mph time of 5.7 seconds, a top speed of 155 mph and an impressive 46.3mpg.

a loaded e60 m5 is already easily at 100k, so the new f10? for sure 100k
the problem with e60 and 6mt is that the car / engine was not designed with 6mt, so it never drives right. but if you look at the e90/92/93, they designed the car with both the dct and 6mt in mind, and just ask most m3/5/6 owners, they will tell you the m3 6mt drives much much better (and they all have the same 6mt)

This is slightly off topic, but I saw a new-model 7 Series the other day and O.M.G. That is one amazing car.. I can't even imagine how much it costs with reasonable options though...
