525ia upgrade - 520d or 535i?
Hi!
I've got right now a BMW E60 525iA 2007, with 85.000km, in spectacular condition. But I want to make a little upgrade, and I've got 2 options (with the same price). Both of them in good condition, and 1 year warranty at the local BMW dealer. The only thing with the 535i, is that this car was at the dealer for at least 11 monts, so I suppose that most of these time the car was parked. Because of that, the dealer is giving me a USD4.000 discount, so both cars are at USD 40.000. - 535i 2010, with 45.000km, with this spec: Vehicle information Type Value VIN C541376 Type code FR71 Type 535I (EUR) E series F10 () Series 5 Type LIM Steering LL Doors 4 Engine N55 Displacement 3.00 Power 225 Drive HECK Transmission AUT Colour IMPERIALBLAU BRILLANTEFFEKT METALLI (A89) Upholstery LEDER DAKOTA / SCHWARZ (LCSW) Prod.date 2010-04-12 Close Options Code Description (interface) Description (EPC) S1CBA CO2 UMFANG CO2 equipment S205A AUTOMATIC GETRIEBE Automatic transmission S212A AUSSTATTUNG BREMSANLAGE LAENDER Equipment, brake syst. country-specific S258A BEREIFUNG MIT NOTLAUFEIGENSCHAFTEN Tyres with runflat properties S2K2A LM RAEDER V-SPEICHE 328 BMW LA wheel, V spoke 328 S2PAA RADSCHRAUBENSICHERUNG Wheel bolt locks S302A ALARMANLAGE Alarm system S316A AUTOMATISCHE HECKKLAPPENBETAETIGUNG automatic trunk lid mechanism S322A KOMFORTZUGANG Comfort access S323A SOFT-CLOSE-AUTOMATIK FUER TUEREN Soft-Close-Automatic doors S3AGA RUECKFAHRKAMERA Reversing camera S3AWA SPRITZDUESEN OHNE BEHEIZUNG Spray nozzles without heating S403A GLASDACH, ELEKTRISCH Glass roof, electrical S415A SONNENSCHUTZROLLO FUER HECKSCHEIBE Sun-blind, rear S423A FUSSMATTEN IN VELOURS Floor mats velours Code Description (interface) Description (EPC) S428A WARNDREIECK Warning triangle and first aid kit S431A INNENSPIEGEL, AUTOMATISCH ABBLENDEND Interior mirror with automatic-dip S441A RAUCHERPAKET Smoker package S459A SITZVERSTELLUNG, ELEKTR.MIT MEMORY Seat adjustment, electric, with memory S481A SPORTSITZE FUER FAHRER / BEIFAHRER Sports seat S4BNA EDELHOLZAUSFUEHRUNG ESCHE MASER Fine-wood trim ash grain S4URA AMBIENTES LICHT Ambient interior light S508A PARK DISTANCE CONTROL (PDC) Park Distance Control (PDC) S522A XENON-LICHT Xenon Light S524A ADAPTIVES KURVENLICHT Adaptive Headlights S534A KLIMAAUTOMATIK Automatic air conditioning S571A STAERKERE STROMVERSORGUNG PLUS Reinforced power supply S5ACA FERNLICHTASSISTENT High-beam assistant S644A HANDY VORB.

I drive at least 60km a day, and I like to run (fly!) with the car. The 525ia is a good car, faster than probably 80% of the cars here in my country (Chile), and (the one that I have at least) very reliable. I know that the 520d is much more economic in terms of fuel than the 535i, but besides that, which one should I get? which one you guys would get if you can choice between this two? In painting and interiors, both of them are in excellent quality, but for example, the 535i comes with the sport seats, and the 520d don't. But the 520d comes with the parking assistant, while the 535i don't..... what would be your recommendation???? thanks!!! Francisco. |

Personally I would never again buy a first model year of any car so in this case ai would get the 520D instead. I am quite sure it will be a much better deal and hold its value better.
As you can se the dealer have problems selling the 535. |

I've already tested the 520d, and it feels a little bit faster than my current 525ia. Tomorrow I'm going to test the 535i....
The problem with the 535i here in Chile, is that is an expensive car, that's why it's difficult to sell. But I can always trade-in the car on the BMW dealer, so if I can't sell it later, I'm going to lose about 20% of the residual value of the car on that exercise. I'm mostly afraid of the problems that the 535i could have, but anyways, both cars comes with at least 1 year warranty from the dealer... |

Well. an update of this post. Finally I've choose the 535i F10, and I'm glad I did.
It's a fun car to drive, but comfortable as well. After 4 years, I'm still driving it, and just got 68k miles. I like to push it to the limit, and even if it looks like a "gentlemen" car, it surely became a beast with the pedal to the floor! Maybe this year will be a good time to look for another change... but my 535 is still in great condition!!! |
