Edmunds BMW 535i Review







What Works:
Twin-turbo 3.0-liter engine is a beautiful match for this car, highly adaptive six-speed automatic transmission is a benchmark, actual adult-size rear seats, Sport Package retains supple ride.

What Needs Work:
iDrive continues to complicate simple chores, $50,000 base price will be out of reach for 335i owners who just want more room.

Bottom Line:
With the addition of the twin-turbo six to the 5 Series, this stately car no longer requires a V8 or manual transmission to be entertaining.

Still an ugly car, but I'm glad this TT engine is finding it's way into other parts of the lineup (namely, that need the extra grunt).
