I say V8. I assume you've driven a 545 or 550, but if you haven't you can take a nice hard spin in mine - with me in the car of course - lol. We can take Matilda out on the highway and stretch her long sexy legs all the way back. Man, the first time I figured out kickdown on the open hwy I was like

I've never driven a 535 or a 550 but if I had to choose I would go for the V8. I like that white car you had linked.

I'd say if they are BOTH fully loaded, I'd choose the 535 since it's LCI. The LCI headlights and taillights is so much more beautiful and think about this, you want somewhat of a dfifferent car. That's why I purposely bought a 2008 M5 instead of 2007 since the interior is a little different.

I've driven BOTH the V8 and I6TT. They both feel pretty much the same driving on local streets. In fact, drives BETTER than an M5. On the highway, the V8 of course feels better yet the I6TT torque band is amazing. It's hard to describe. If you like to drive and not downshift to get to the right torque curve, the I6TT is for you. If you like revving it up and downshifting, the V8 is for you. They are both decently torquey but it's a different driving experience.

When I was driving my remapped 2.7T Allroad, I dont even need to shift out of 6th gear to overtake someone whereas my 545i, I HAD to shift. I had much more usable torque over the rpms than the 545i. Theorectically, my 2.7T should be able to beat the the 545/550. Maybe I should try to do that this week.
