Each of these engines are turbocharged, with direct injection and BMW's
Valvetronic system, which can vary intake valve lift to both save fuel and aid
responsiveness. Fuel economy ratings are an impressive 23 mpg city, 34 highway
for the 528i and 20/30 mpg. Engine Auto Start/Stop also helps save fuel in
stop-and-go driving by stopping the engine momentarily, then starting it
smartly when you begin to ease off the brake pedal. An "Eco Pro" mode
allows for more mindful driving, while a single Driving Dynamics Control
selector lets the driver click between Comfort, Normal, Sport and Sport+ modes
that coordinate throttle and transmission response, steering boost,
stability-control intervention and in affected cars, the Dynamic Damping
Control suspension (which helps combine a soft ride with crisp response when
you need it) and Active Roll Stabilization (which reduces lean in cornering).
Additionally, a system called Integral Active Steering is available and gives
the 5-Series sedan a more nimble feel by steering--slightly--with the rear
wheels
