Re: Edmunds Full Test: 2008 BMW 535i -
06-05-2007, 11:19 AM
I have to admit, after test driving the 335i and 550i at an event on Sunday I have decided to get the 535i as my next car.
I was going to wait for the F10 550i, but I will have to let go of my 330i.
With the 335i- I tried very hard to notice any turbo lag, but there seems to be none that is noticeable. I think the engineers have this thing perfected, and what may seem to be a small lag is masked by a gear shift.
I am yet to test drive the 535i but I can imagine the stability of the 550i without the V8 and the potency of the N54B30O1 engine all in one.
The result will something that is close to the 550i- I've got it figured out in my head.
So the review from Edmunds I don't believe is an exaggeration.
