Just trying to see what options might be out there rather than just trying to find an exact match (535i xdrive). Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I'd bet there's not much interchangeable. The 550 is heavier in front and the cooling system would be much different. You'd be better off trying to find another 535. That, or depending how much you're into this car, cut your losses and sell the car.
