Will we see a 535i? Ever?
Hey guys,
Just out of curiosity, do you think/know if BMW will release a 535i? It will be awesome if they do...put in it an actual 3.5L engine with larger turbos...and make it around 350 whp...

I thought I read that the 535i is coming out next year?
Can't remember where I read it, or even if I read it for that matter.

my understanding was that there would be a 528i, 535i, and 550i line up in Canada for the 2008 Model Year... 535i available around end of summer 2007, then?

Mr. Silver you are correct again. BMW will also, I read in Auto Motor und Sport, use a bi turbo set up on an 8 cylinder engine in combo with DI. |

It would kill off the 540i ( V8 available in europe)
They have said there will be new engines in March when the 5 Series gets its facelift, but they are keeping the linup very secret at the moment

Facelift in March? I thought it wasn't until 2008, MY 2009. Well if so, that is good news because my dad is looking at getting a 5 series once I work on him a little more and he isn't a fan of the "Bangle-butt". I actually love the rear but hate the "eyelashes" on the headlights.

I know that they share engines but do they also share suspension? I had a 07 525i loaner on Monday and steering was so light compared to my 330i. It was way too easy make turns which I am not used to but do all 5's do that or is that an option?

Exactly. The 5-series as in Europe a 4.0L V8, with the same 306hp of the 6I 35i. Unless they take out the V8, it isn't very likely to be released a 535i. |
