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?

i dont see why they wouldnt make it an option. they tend to make most if not all of the other sedan's engines an option for the 5 series.

a 535 could really eat into 550 sales, regardless we could see the return of the 635 and 735...at least in the US

the 535 would eat into the 550 but the 6 and 7 wouldnt be effected? unlikely, but that doesnt mean they wont do it.

I think we'll see it next year.

The 5's and 3's always share engines.

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.

The e60 really grew on me as will the e90 in a few years I guess. The E65 is still awful.

Bmw will probably rework the V8 if they do introduce a 535.
