And look how it came out:

The salesman i bought the 335i from, had never heard of a 535!

The 335i is super fast, but so sanitized. The 535 actually feels faster, till you realize that the 335i is going 50 mph + faster in the same distance. The 535 is just a different kind of fun.

I cannot imagine working on the 335i myself. On the 535 I have replaced lots of difficult bits, but I will never own the 335i out of warrantee. Everything is computerized!

I was shocked to see that BMW is rating the 335i at 300hp/300 torque and the engine is actually producing 350hp, and 360 torque, according to automobile magazines’ dyno tests.

does the new car feel a bit disconnect from the road, like your playing a computer game?
Thats my issue with every single new car that ive driven, but ive only driven new australian cars which are a little bit rubbish.

Thanks guys!

The car is great, but it is very . . . distant . .. from the real enviroment.

I don't mean that it does not handle well, or have great road feel. It does.

I had one of my buddys drive the 335i while I tried to keep up in the 535.
That is just not gonna happen. In the brakes esp. the 335i is way ahead, and with a 4.9 0-60 the 335i is almost 2.5 seconds quicker.

I will absolutly be keeping the 535, there is somthing just so right about the blend that BMW put in place 20 years ago!

I will get some side by side pics - I think the new E92 is actually bigger than the E34.

Man I am seriously jealous. Enjoy the car. When the lease is up on my wife's Saab vert I am going to look at a new 3 series to replace it.
