A Quiet and Powerhouse Diesel
We are normally MBZ people. My last BMW was a '75. We drove the 2015 MBZ 250d and it was noisy and the steering was awful. We decided on the 535d and never looked back. The seats and front seat comfort are wonderful. The car has power to burn when you need it. It gets over 40 mph on the road. The radar controlled cruise control is wonderful on the road. I never stop praising this car. I have owned many cars and feel this is the best ever. I am 80 years old and know how to use all the electronic features. That said, the average older person will have a tough learning curve. The cruise control needs to be made more simple to use. It is a bit too involved. The electronic string needs tightening, though the MBZ 250d is much worse. Bottom line: A greats road car with all the power and comfort anyone could ever want.

Seven in a row
I have had seven BMWs ranging from a classic 1973 3.0 CS Coupe, to this new 535i. Cars in between included a 95' 325is, 95 M3, another 95' 325is, 2009 328i and my 2000 528i that i have driven every day for the last 15 years. The Twin-Turbo 525i is an incredible engine, and delivers true enjoyment overtime I get into the car. The performance is amazing. The attention to detail is incredible. I have not looked at a new car in 15 years, and this is by far the best I have had the pleasure of enjoying. BMW performance, luxury appointments and the bonus of incredible gas mileage for a car this size is a bonus no matter how you look at it. The only drawback to the 5 Series in general is the back seat is uncomfortable for any trip of over an hour. We had considered taking this wonderful car to an out of state wedding with passengers, and ended up renting an alternate vehicle for our 600 mile trip.

Beware of the restart shudder
When the eco Start/stop engages and the engine restarts, the restart is hard and causes the car to noticeably shudder. Dealer told me I could turn off the start/stop, but then I would lose fuel economy. I think they fixed it for the 2018 model year, but make sure you test it before buying.

the ultimate comfort and performance car
I love the car for the performance of the car and the comfort of the interior. For the price and the performance, I believe the car is worth consideration. I have no bad things to say about the car.
