Maybe not the hottest comparison on the blo
ck, butthe 2010 BMW 328i and places against the all-new, refreshed 2012 Volvo S60 T5. Under the hood, the T5 gets a turbocharged 5-cylinder that makes 250-hp and 266 lb-ft of torque to deliver a 7.2 second 0-60 mph time. The test car usedwas equipped with an automatic transmission.
The 2010 BMW 328i is powered by the soon-to-be-retired 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine that makes 230 hp. Engine-whipping is done by a six-speed manual or an optional six-speed automatic. With less horsepower, but 200 pounds lighter and using a manual transmission, the 328i runs from 0 to 60 mph in 6.4 seconds.
