Been looking at new cars. I like the 535i and wanted to order a 535i 6 speed. Anyone got one?

I like the 335i and all the mods you can get for it but it is too small to be practical so I thought the 535 would be a nice alternative.

Did the dealer by chance have a 550? It has the M body and really looks sharp. Not sure how much additional price wise though.

I have an 02 540i. I am 6'4" so I kind of crawl in and out of it. Not as much leg room as I would like but it's no worse than most other cars.

I made the mistake of driving a 540 6 sp. before I drove a 530 auto. After the 540, the 530 seemed slow and sluggish. The final choice was obvious. Mine has the sport, and premium pkgs. I HIGHLY recommend them. The car corners on rails, and I love the sport seats.

I don't drive it in snow and seldom in rain. Rain isn't a problem but I need an excuse to drive my SUV so it's my rain/snow car.

I put Goodyear Eagles on it a couple of years ago. They are fine but have some traction issues in cold weather.

The only problems I have had in 53,000 are the rear speakers, and one of the LED panels on the dash.

If you buy the 535 remember "you could have had a V-8"

Randy you may want to remove your email so you don't get spammed to death. Thank you for your reply. The new 535 is twin turbo and there is a lot of simple tricks you can do that will make it 400 HP+ and outrun the 550 (V8). The 550 is 13K + more than the 535 so I did look at those but really want to stay around the 50K range. I really want a 6 spd M5 but 90K is insane for a new one.

I drove a 335i with mods last month and liked it better than my 02 M3. The 335 was faster, quieter and had a better ride with 19's than my M3 did with 18's. The M3 exhaust in the current car sucks, sounds like rocks bouncing around in the muffler!

I have a friend with an m5. That is one of my altime favorite cars, runs like a vette and can carry the family. I agree the price is a little crazy though. I didn't relize the 535 was turbo now.

I love my M5.................and I loved the M3 before it...................and I loved the 540i before it.

Can't go wrong with a BMW!

My uncle ordered a 535i Twin Turbo, it's on the boat. Sport pkg with the sport automatic transmission. I'll let you know what I think soon.

The 335i is a cool car but a little small so I figured a 535 would be a nice alternative. I know the 6 spd cars became available as of Sept. 1 and hope that can give the car a sportier feel. The automatics are the kiss of death in the 335i coupes, everyone wants the 6 spd.
