Fixed on New 535 now with the M Performance Kit Azurite Black with Black Nappa. Really don't like the wheels that BMW offer though on this car.
Has anyone seen these http://morrwheels.com/wheels/details/mono-forged/v... really nice. Maybe will put on my Maserati.
Personally I think you made the right choice of the 535i with the BMWPPK as it's a proper remap rather than the less sophisticated 'piggy-back' tuning box that the Hartge is....plus you get BMW factory warranty with it.
You'll find that it will also be a bit more than the advertised power increase figures wink

There will be a 540i with a 350ish hp version of the same N55 engine out in the future, but maybe not for another year perhaps.


Not so sure on the black and black colour choice though laugh

Or those wheels in the link, I hate after market wheels though so ignore me.

I think these are the best wheels for the F10 at the moment, on a black car...

Thanks for that yes I think best choice. I think the updated engine will be reserved for the new 2016 model.

BMW colour choice is pretty bad I have to say, hence the Azurite.

BMW 535i is just amazing, my Godfather has been totally in love with it, and still is smile
I mean not only that is looks great, I mean just look at it , it is also so safe, it has everything from full complement of air bags, anti-lock disc brakes, traction and stability control, and the BMW Assist emergency communications system. I am not an expert, but I know 535i is gorgeous, so how have you guys decided about it in comparison with 535d?
Surely looks wise a 525i or 535d look identical

just to add another slant to this Ive just gone fore a F11 535d touring delivery in Dec and Px my E63 AMG. Will miss the noise and the initial thump but the fuel consumption was bugging me after 2.5yrs 20-22max on my normal drive. Had a e39 M5 some years ago which was ok. Drove a 530d and 535d and the 535d is noticibly more urgency about it then the 530d and will suit my driving now any 95% of the roads im on. Reason for selling the E63 AMG - getting a caravan and its not type approved the 535D is and fits the bill perfectly now for me. Will miss the sound of the AMg tho.

And another another slant. We ended up with an e500 estate. No amg frippery. Looks exactly like a E220.

Suits me just fine.
