What does the 528i LCI mean?

LCI stands for “Life Cycle Impulse” it’s the BMWs version of a facelift or an update that is significant enough to warrant mentioning.

It weighs roughly 3,500 lbs.

No, it has a turbocharger to provide a boost when you need it.

What does a 2010 Volkswagen Passat currently cost in the US?

Is the 3.0T Q7 turbocharged?

No, the 3.0T engine is supercharged, not turbocharged. It’s confusing since you’d expect that 3.0T would have a turbo with a “T” at the end. Not exactly sure why Audi went this route when naming it.
