Motor Trend shares full writeup of their 2011 535i test drive
Motor Trend did a full test of the 2011 535i already.
Car is bigger (too big now imho), heavier (by 300-400 lbs) and just as fast up to 70 mph and faster above that (thank the new 8 speed auto), all while getting better gas mileage (again thank the 8 speed auto). The new N55 seems to deliver equal or slightly more power (though they are rated the same) than the N54 as I doubt the 8 speed tranny alone can make a car that weighs 300-400 lbs more accelerate equal to or faster than the lighter outgoing car on that fact alone. Oh, and the new car handles and drives better apparently too. Here's the full article: http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...est/index.html ** Also see the F10 5-series review compilation thread for more reviews. |

Motortrend has the incorrect weight specs. The new 2011 F10 535i Model does not weigh 400 pounds more then the 2010 E60 535i model. Weigh has gone up by about 100 pounds at the most.
