This series has become rather substantial over the years, including several trim levels.When it arrives in Canada in spring 2012, the spotlight will be on the M5, with its twin turbo V8 that delivers no less than 560 hp. The 5 Series was completely revamped last year, when they also released the GT and its ingenious hatch. Its 4.4L V8 produces 400 hp. Theoretically, the 528i should be getting a new 240-hp 4-cylinder turbo.
