Yep. It's not really big news. In fact, it was mentioned in the press release a while back.

Am I missing something. I thought this was known for quite some time. It is the same engine and is providing more competition for the already short supply of the HP fuel pumps.

It's interesting to know what will be the weight of the 535i

I dont think it'll be that much heavier. Either way it's still gonna be way faster than the 530.

I was told by a BMW rep its only a few hundred pounds. he was probably reading the brochure

E90Fleet · 05-01-2007, 06:00 PM

m3rxn · 05-01-2007, 06:07 PM

I believe its 98 pounds heavier than the 335i Sedan

M3 Piotr · 05-01-2007, 06:21 PM

One would think they would put dual exhaust like on 335i ...

BoostedBMW · 05-01-2007, 06:22 PM

I didn't know that the 535 had come out yet, its smart of them to utilize the same engine.

Too bad they didn't slap a dual exhaust on it like the 335.

5 Series is supposed to look more executive

Anyway, there is space for a spare in a 5 series, so no space for the 335i type pipes

Interesting, does that mean the 335 dual is not functional? I have yet to see my car on a lift, but I thought there were 2 cats, and it was a true dual despite the H pipe.

It is a functional dual

535i just doesnt have the space to put the ends so far apart

Ok, agreed, the 335 has a true dual. But if the 535 also does 300 HP and presumably 300 ft. lbs., where is the benefit of the 335 exhaust system?
