"I am very thrifty with my money, but I have always had a safe and dependable car. Never in a million years have I thought that I'd own a luxury BMW sedan. Well, it happened. Expensive, but if you can afford it - buy it!. Better than any comparably priced car. Go for the added features of the 535 rather than the 528. Get a 2011 remodeled version rather than the 2010 or earlier. You will not be disappointed. Mine is an Xdrive. Handles fantastic. Excellent mpg despite a powerful motor. Just beautiful all around. Workmanship can't be beat. In one word....WOW. I still can't believe it's mine."

"Wanted to buy this car, as you can see i have given it good ratings in various categories. But in all my test drives i felt jerks in automatic shifts at slow speed. I checked the internet and found numerous complaints by owners about the issues with adaptive transmission. Some dealers gave transmission software updates but not satisfactory. Lot of owners have their cars at dealerships for weeks and no resolution."

"My 2011 BMW 535i is easily the best car I've ever owned. It has beautiful styling and exceptional performance, while still getting great mileage (recent trip @ 31.5 mpg). While providing great comfort, the car still allows--even invites--you to really drive it. BMW has knocked it out of the park with this one."

"I purchased a new 535i. what a disapointment. I been back for service 5-6 times. The bRAKES CONTINUALLY SQUEEL. THEY ADJUSTED THEM AND REPLACED THEM AND THEY STILL MAKE NOISES. tHE TIRE ARE A DISGRACE. i PURCHASED TWO SETS OF NEW TIRES WITH ONLY 10,000 MILES. I'M DRIVING ON MY THIRD SET OF TIRES AT $500.00 PER TIRE. tHE TIRES KEEP LOOSING AIR AND GET BUBBLES IN THE SIDE WALLS. THE TRANSMISION IS A CROSSWORD PUZZLE TO SHIFT GEARS. THE CAR IS A MAJOR DISAPOINTMENT."
