Hi everyone, i'm new here and I stumbled upon this site while searching for info about the 535d. Anyway, I live in switzerland and my dad just got a new 535d and I got to drive it around. We had previously rented a 530i for two months and boy is this car different! Anyway it's much faster. But it cost 73,000chf. (64,000$) compared to the 63,000chf (55,000$) 530i. So my dad was forced to buy standared seats, although still leather and electric. So tell me, was it worth it? I will post pics as soon as I get my hands on a camera, thanks!


For those not familiar, these are the specs:
535d: 272 hp, 560 nm 0-100 6.5s
530i: 225 hp, 300 nm 0-100 7.1s
NOTE! the 535d weighs 200+ more kg!

Come to think of it, i dont really care about the comfort seats, the 530i had them and i don't see much difference apart from the adj. and the headrests. And yeah ur right i do make up many excuses to drive it, although it's mine on the weekend. I'd still like to know if it has such a big advantage over the 530i though as i never drove it. And also i read somewhere that its peroformance is almost like that of the 545i, is this true? Thnx.
