One time I was tailgating a C63, he can't loose me. May be he was given me a break.

Pull beside him and downshift to 6k rpm!

Those cayenne turbo are unbeatable in the rain at a stop .. not a chance

Really? I don't know why but I started to feel the 523i lacks of power and especially lacks of low-end torque, maybe because I drive kinda aggressive? Everytime I try to accelerate at Cotton-tree Road, Conduit Road and Old Peak Road I can feel is heavy and trying so hard to accelerate. I drove a Lexus RX300 before and probably that's the reason why I'm having this feeling.

Well can't compare it with a 3 litre engine dude.

For me I find it no problem up cotton tree road.

BTW living in those places, you should at least have a 535

haha just kidding ..
You must really love that 2.5 6cyl I6, stick with it for 3 generation!
agreed.. enough power already .. can step on it maximum and not worry.. i never had that worry before

I don't really love it, I love the V8s or the 3 litre ones but I just can't afford it

For everyday use I say the power is good enough already. It can do some fast run if I press it so can't justify myself getting anything with bigger engine especially with my budget.

I got a bike so if I want excitement, I can use that

I still feel that for the F10, the 535i maybe the perfect balance. 550i and the M5 does feel a bit front heavy in handling, something that cannot be compensated just by having more power to the rear..... 4WD may help a bit there....

Agree, I would have gotten the 535i if I know they will discontinue the I6 528i.

You could've got a 535 if you do less mods

I don't think RC can live with a stock 535i... he will mod the hell out of it even with a 116i!

You really like that 535 .. but V8 is not that bad in weight distribution.. just keep the tank full and put alot of crap in the trunk

Suppose the 328 w N20 has much superior balance over 335, because I4 is less than half the length of I6
like this:

OO
OO

vs.

O
O
O
O
O
O

So although only 75kg weight difference, but it can be placed further towards rear in the I4 .. whereas the I6 is very long, longer than V8.. sorry just something i read

Why it being discontinued would make you get 535? Or you just wanted a 535 anyway?

400hp 535 with hamman exhaust flying by, i can imagine that

And after RC3 mod the 116i, it will outrun my 550i

jxnco · 02-27-2012, 04:01 AM

I would've gotten the 535 as well...that low end torque still bothers me every day.
