2011 535i xdrive

I used to own a 2011 Infiniti G37x, and although the 5 series is bulkier, it is a much better car in comparison. The handling on the road feels much more thought out. It flows very nicely on windy roads. The 300hp N55 is excellent, there is a brief moment where you get turbo lag in the lower RPM range, but I have actually come to love it because it’s fun to start out with the lag and then have it hit you in the face. The interior is excellent. Elegant and simple, the sound system is one of the best I’ve had in a car and it’s not the upgraded sound system. I have the navigation and highly recommended it. It adds the the beauty of the interior, and really makes the car look like it’s worth $50,000-$60,000. I also have the heated seats and heated steering wheel. I love how the front two seats and the back two are heated, and they all warm up very fast compared to my Infiniti. Overall, one of the best vehicles I’ve ever owned. I bought it used at 66,000 miles and I am now at about 72,000 with no problems and the car feeling and driving like new! Perhaps I have the previous owners to thank for that, but also BMW included free oil changes with the vehicle for the first (40,000+?) miles which I’m sure helped to improve reliability down the road. I intend to keep this car for the next 5-10 years and I will be taking VERY good care of it! :)

I just bought black with Venetian beige 535i at Beverly Hills BMW. I like the performance and handling on this car. I use to have 7 series but with this 5 I don's miss it. I got the sport pkg, premium pkg, convenient pkg and premium pkg2.

why a 535 M

I have owned many 5 series, this new model is way ahead of anything I tested, Audi A6, Mercedes Benz, Lexus, it handles and drives better than all sedans I tested, I was seriously considering an Audi but after driving the Audi, Lexus, Mercedes there was no doubt that the new 535 M is a far better car in all respects and more fun to drive than the others. you can set the car on Eco mode on the hwy and get 34 mpg at 80 miles an hour, quite good for this size car, the the comfort seats are by far the most comfortable and it has a superb sound system. This car has excellent features and the Idrive is much improved and easier to use as is the Navigation system.

Good quality car. I would recommend to anyone that's looking for a new car to definitely consider checking out the 5 series. I'm the original owner and now have had mines for over 10+ years.
