Agreed though, 528i with 258hp and 228 ft-lbs sounds very nice.

First off... Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Secondly, nice as it may sound ...(and this comes from our fellow member mapezzul) ,,,
NO DIRECT INJECTION NORMALLY ASPIRATED ENGINES FOR THE U.S.
If you notice in the U.S. Press release they mention that the 528 will have 240 horsepower...not the same engine. By my calculations, the U.S. equivalent of 258 Euro-hp would be closer to E90 330 territory...like 255 or so.
Also, I believe the F10 actually weighs a tad bit more than the E60. We have to wait for final specs on the U.S. models.
