Is it irresistible to floor it?

Pretty irresistable imho

Since you are coming from an M3 which would be a 8-9 on the scale, the 535 would be more like a 2-3 in comparison. Although my tuned 535 is fun, it just doesn't give you the same smile when you floor an M3 listening to that V8 snarl and grunt back at you.

I say 3 to 4.

if your looking for a sporty car look elsewhere. this is a luxury car first and foremost. it has some sporty pretensions. i'm going to be trading it in for a 4 series coupe manual transmission in a few years to get back to something more sporty.

this is a not a knock on this car what so ever. i love my car. but its a luxury car

+1

Exactly how I see a 535i, even in M-sport guise. Love it that way, bit of a luxury barge.

come on it's a luxury sport sedan and blow away Mercedes E class luxury sedan.
if i wanted a sport car then I would have to look at a ZR1 corvette or Shelby GT500

I gave it a 5.5 (rounded up to 6) rating where 1 equals walking and 10 equals face ripper monkey or Bugatti Veyron.

0-60 in 5.9 seconds is darn good for a mid-luxury sled

You didn't specify 535 or 550. The 535 should be mid range sporty, 550 should be 7 or 8, and M5 would be 9 to 10.

But if you came from a Prius, then 535 would be 10. Overall, I rate it 6. It's a good overall car and has enough power to get going.

I drive a 535i (non-sports), so I don't know how it feels. But I like my e60 530i sports' handling way better than 535i.

I think you pretty much have to in order to get passed the tip in.

To me, E60 550i MSport I had before was a true sports sedan whereas F10 535i MSport is more like a "sporty" luxury sedan.
