Anyone know how well the 535xi does? I assume you drop a few mph with the all wheel drive.
I hear it gets about 9mpg highway and 7 mpg city.....

The G35 Sport (automatic) in the test had a 0-60 time of 5.3 seconds. The new G37 Coupe Sport (manual) listed in the back of the magazine in the Road Test Summary had a 0 - 60 time of 5.5 seconds! So much for new and improved.
Ok I'm very bad... shame of me to wish the G37 as a failure... I apologize for my childish response.
Congratulations to BMW... hurry up and bring me the 135!

rstiles - that's truly impressive....over 30 mpg on the freeway? Now that two of you have testified to this level of mileage, I'm beginning to believe 
. Curious what are the ratings for the 535i? No offense intended, but do you drive really mellow? I'm more of an agressive driver and don't usually get anywhere near the EPA ratings.....if I could average 25mpg...I'd be a happy camper. My truck averages 17mpg and my GT500 averages 15mgp. GT500 doesn't count though as it's a weekend car and it is IMPOSSIBLE to not drive it agressively.....

I average about 20-22 MPG with my 535xi... That's because I do alot of city driving
On the highway going 80mph I average over 30
Also I swear my sprint-booster degrades my gas milage significantly
