    Advantages Advantages fast and furious

    Disadvantages Disadvantages can be expensive

    The car I'm talking about is not the newer model,it's the older one,around the "c" plate. It has full body trim,heavily tinted windows and is in racing red.The engine has been super chipped and it purrs like nothing else I have ever heard. A fast road cam,and 4 1/2" big bore exhaust added to this 3 1/2 litre stright 6 monster. With 2 pot calliper brakes running on Mintex discs and pads all round,with goodridge hoses made stopping possible.Whilst electronically restricted to 155 mph,getting there with over 300 brake horse power was exhillerating.0 to 60 came and went in well under 5 seconds.) ... more

    Advantages Advantages Luxury, Style, Effortless cruising, Indestructability and sheer pace!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Slightly high running costs

    The 535i is the one model in the five series range that is slightly unknown. My family owns a P-reg 535i, and having owned it for a few years now, I have noticed very few others on the road - maybe that’s due to the ambiguous styling, or the fact that everyone seems to go for a 528i or 530i. The car is one of three V8's in the 5 series line up, along with the 540i and the insane M5 - although it has the smallest capacity of the three, one thing the car certainly isn’t lacking is speed. The 3.5 litre engine is strong and pulls hard right throughout the rev-range; with the auto-box the 5 will do ... more

    Advantages Advantages Very Comfortable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not very sporty

    This is my first BMW and I would certainly have another one. I was looking for a big car ready to carry 2 kids and lots of luggage. I do lots of long journeys (750 miles in one go) and a car with a slighlty upper class immage. This BMW has met all bar one of my expectations. Although this is not a slow car, it is not a fast car and neither is it a sporty car. The 0-60 time is about 7.6 seconds and the surspention is far to soft for cornering hard but great for soaking up bumps on long journeys. If you want a fast and sporty five series BMW you need to go for the motorsport version which has ... more

    5 Stars BMW 535i / E34 01/02/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Well-built, Reliable, comfortable, easy-to-drive family car

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Tad of the thirsty side!

    I have an E34 535 which I have had for around 6 months now, I previously had a Subaru Impreza, so to be honest I was assuming that although it's an older car I didn't think I'd see much difference.. Wow I was wrong! The car is a stunning car, not much of a head-turner such as my old car was, and also it's a heavier car, but it definitely has the power behind it to push most other cars along. The best thing about this car is the noise that you get at high-speeds... there is no noise! Even at 80mph you can barely hear the engine going and it allows for more of a conversation inside the car ... more

    5 Stars Quick review of BMW 535i by kompresser 10/09/2007
    I drive a 535i and love it to bits,it does exactly what it says on the box,great ecceleration,performance and very smooth and luxiourious. However this is the only car i have had so many reoccuring problems with. As well as the common problem with the cooling bottle i have had the heat exchanger changed to new twice due to water leaks, the gascket changed and even had new tyers as my loyalty to BMW which has costed a nice 1500 pounds. The problem still is not fixed and the car is still leaking water. I think BMW should revise thier customer ... more

    5 Stars Quick review of BMW 535i by Mattcom 12/05/2007
    I bought an 03 reg, last of the old shape before the new controversial lumpy version. Very impressed indeed, the auto version is a must for complete comfort in a car that just wants to be let loose.
