The Times writes about cars like CR writes about cars. Never with passion, only about the "PC" agenda.
CR is the only US motoring publication that buys every single car it reviews, buys every car anonymously from a dealer, is the only motoring publication that owns its own test track, and also employs professional drivers to conduct its tests.

I found this review of the 535 to be nothing but worthless drivel. For example, pointing the vehicle "downhill on the Taconic"? Then he breaks "new ground" by damning the I-drive? First of all, the I-drive is sheer genius after you spend a few hours with it, but why bring this tired subject up again, again and yet again. Secondly, if he is going to compare the 535 with the 550i, he obviously just doesn't get it. The 550i, unless you want to shoot up $25,000, is still THE standard of the industry in its sector for many, many reasons he is clearly ignoring. Or maybe, he actually has never driven the 550i.
