Love this car. Its a 2014 535d M sport with several extras. Engine is amazing. Everything is designed right. First car i would label as perfect, and i am critical. Fuel economy is excellent (doing 28.3 mpg in mostly city driving) and with diesel here between midgrade and premium it is nice to spend liitle on fuel every month. The exterior is beautiful. Have the M sprt version in carbon black. Interior also beautiful and i drive now working really well. Navigation display is big showing traffic and will propose alternate routes. I drive button now allows to write destination. Works very good. Dashboard, steering wheel and instrument panel are just beautiful. Heads up display works great and shows nav instructions very clearly. My wife has a 2014 Audi Q7, looks nice outside but is inside nowhere near the 535d. Recommend you drive this car, in specific the diesel, when you are in the market for a luxury sport sedan. Would highly recommend buying one. Everyday this car puts a smile on my face, like driving a new car from the lot daily. Update 2016 - Still happy and excited driving this great car every day! Update 2017 - Car has been trouble free and drives like new. Very happy owner and planning to keep much longer!

I'm a long time BMW user........on my 8th vehicle. I have had good ones and not so good ones in the past, but one thing has always been true. They get better and better with every new generation. My 2014 535i now has 50K miles on it and it has been perfect. No issues or problems at all. Runs smooth and strong every time I start the engine and is frankly, just flat out fun to drive. I'm old school with a Manual Transmission and it is the smoothest clutch and shifting I have ever experienced. ZF just makes it right. IDrive is very simple and functions well. Standard sound system is quite good and navigation is simple, fast and accurate. Bluetooth is easy to use as well (use it mostly for Books on IPhone) and all Phone functions. Not big on all the bells and whistles so I only get one option.....the M Sport Package. It makes the car perform at an even higher level and adds a look that is very attractive (get compliments all the time). This is the sport sedan that defines the category.....want to put a smile on your face every day you drive..........this is the car for you.

I love this car. Smooth quiet diesel has tons of torque to get the car moving when you need it and it so smooth it accelerates without drama or noise. I was not particularly interested in a diesel, but when I felt the performance to be had with 38mpg I was sold. My first BMW and I purchased warranties to guard against expensive repairs, but the car has been excellent in all regards. Very handsome, and comfortable. Heads up display is great and the bluetooth integration is very well done with BMW iDrive.

Do not test drive the car unless you are ready to purchase one of these cars.. that's how good this machine is!! you will buy it if you drive it! I had BMW 5 series before, always V8, and yet, this car delivers impressive power with unmatched mpg.

142K miles and still nearly perfect

Engine and transmission are strong and smooth. The styling still holds up. Interior still isn't showing much wear. It's only the rear passenger side tire pressure monitoring sensor (TPMS) that's acting funny. It's always under the impression that that tire is low on air. It's wrong, so I'll need to replace that TPMS. That's an $80 part. I love this car.

If you want great mileage in luxury, you cannot go wrong with the 535D. Up to 40 miles per gallon, turbos kicking in on one of the best diesel engines ever built, and you're off to the races. Build quality is outstanding and apart from the usual service needs the car is still running as smooth after 8 years as the day I brought it home! You can't go wrong with one of these!

This is an excellent car. Rides great with good acceleration. Diesel engine gets 32/41 and won't know it is not a gas engine.
