You gotta love the steering wheel, looks a little like the one in the M5.



If anything this is the best interior combination for the 5er IMO:



Beautiful!



My only beef is the overly-complicated US-spec gauges.

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.

mirage, have u actually seen the 5er facelift on singapore soil?

Yes. I see at least 5 new facelifted 5ers parked at the dealership.

the bukit timah one along Dunearn Rd?

Yup.

mirage can u spot the differences in the facelift right away? i want to know if its a visible difference when actually seen in the metal. Cheers

Personally I see a difference immediatly. You see the chrome in the front spoiler right away. From the rear only difference are the LED's.

I really hope Audi brings it with the next gen A6. By that time there should be a turbo or bi turbo'd variant or two.
