Guys, how does this seem to you...?I'm still very sceptical about it
I think gray isn't the right car color for these lights. It could be stunning on a black 5er though, with these lights
Yeah, but I will refrain from commenting on that this time...

Today I´ve been in the new 5er testing it. It was a deep sea blue 535i with 5 spoke rims (the ones on the press pics) and shadow line. It was well equiped, with dynamic drive, head-up display, sorrounding cameras... etc. The interior was all un black with aluminium, and the sport seats.
Trust when I say this car is incredibly well finished, it´s amazing the level of quallity, like any other bimmer I´ve ever seen, the plastics are soft (on the contray as the ones on the E60 and W212), the leather is amazingly good, and the touch of the buttons is perfect. The colour is perfect for the car too, it just give it that sporty touch that differenciates it from the A6 and E-Class.
The 535i drives better than possibly any car of its size I´ve ever driven, I´m young and I haven´t driven hundreds of cars, but I have experience with Mercedes and BMWs, as my parents have always owned these two brands cars. It´s smooth, it acclerates like a thunder, and sounds incredibly good.
Nowadays, if I had to change our E, the 535i would be my choice, without any kind of doubt. It´s a pitty we have to wait two years more to change the E-Class, and having in mind we want something sportier to contrast the ML, I think the 6er or the CLS would be our choice.
I recomend it 100% guys.

Personally, my opinion is that Lexus lights are so year 2002 and I was rather shocked to see BMW offering this option at launch. I can already picture black 535d with M-package and clear tail lights flauting their "evil bimmer" on the roads. For such a wholesome car, the clear tail lights are wrong and adds tacky bling.
^^ And don't forget a black grille and those chrome wheels and mirror caps. That will be a winner for ricers in combination with those backlights!!!
A black 5er with black/white tail lights might end up being pretty hot. I really have to see it first before I say it's ugly. But a matching body color is a must for these lights imo. It's doesn't look so good on a gray Bimmer.
The steering wheel with wood is ugly. Wood doesn't look good on this design. That aluminium steering wheel on the other hand looks very good!

Hello!
I would like to catch several opinions about BMW's, i'm not capable to make my choice without several opinions...
Well, i know they are different cars, different styles and probably not comparable, but here is the possible choices:
Choice 1: BMW 330d Coupe (MT or AT - 6 gears) or BMW 530d (MT or AT - 8 gears)
Choice 2: BMW 335d Coupe or BMW 540d
The difference of power between 30d and 35d/40d worth? The fraction of seconds in some performace numbers worth the difference of prices?
Any one knows if the 540d will have the same gearbox of 335d and 740d, as far i know the new gearbox of 8 gears can't handle the torque of that engine... is this true?
The new 540d will have 299bhp like 535d GT ou 306bhp like 740d?
Many thanks to all members of this amazing community!!

It's hard to decide for you whether the power difference is worth the premium, and the same goes for the decision between the E92 and the F10. I'd recommend to drive both the coupe and the sedan and both engines to make your decision. Personally, I'd prefer the F10 right now for being the newer car.Hello!

The 540d should be introduced in the Fall 2010 and most certainly will get the new 8 speed automatic. BMW introduced this combination in the X5 already, so there's no reason to do differently for the 540d.
Hope that helps a bit, and thanks for the nice words!
Best regards,

PS: Your question is slightly OT in this thread, but I'll leave it here for the time being.

A 530d with the 8 speed auto could be all the car you ever need.

(US) Pricing Announced for All-New BMW 528i Sedan
Press Release
16.04.2010
Woodcliff Lake, NJ – April 16, 2010… BMW has announced pricing for the all-new 2011 BMW 528i Sedan. The new 528i will arrive at BMW Centers in July and is priced from $45,425 including $875 Destination & Handling. Based on the all-new, 6th-generation BMW 5 Series, the new 528i receives BMW’s 3.0-liter inline-6 engine with magnesium-aluminum construction and 240 horsepower, plus BMW’s new 8-speed automatic transmission as standard equipment. Despite these enhancements, the base MSRP is $1,400 lower than the 528i’s 2010 predecessor.
As on any other BMW vehicle, BMW Ultimate Service, with $0 maintenance for the first 4 years or 50,000 miles, is included.
“When we announced the pricing for the 535i and 550i earlier this month, people were thrilled with what great value they represented,” said Jack Pitney, Vice-President of Marketing for BMW of North American. “With the 528i BMW is uniquely positioned to offer a full range of midsized luxury-performance Sedans that, true to the philosophy of EfficentDynamics, offer better performance and improved efficiency than their predecessors at prices that are even more competitive.”
The all-new 2011 BMW 5 Series combines a whole new look, inside and out, with new powertrain options and even more cutting-edge technology. Design features emblematic of BMW are to be found at the front with its kidney grille inclined slightly forward. The new 5 Series chassis is 55% stiffer than its already-impressive predecessor.
The new 528i is equipped with BMW’s celebrated 3.0-liter inline-6 engine, now enhanced to produce 240 horsepower and 230 lb-ft of torque. These figures represent improvements of 10 and 30, respectively, over the previous-generation 528i. As a result, the new 528i is expected to accomplish the 0-60mph sprint in 6.6 seconds (preliminary), compared to 7.1 seconds for the previous model. The normally aspirated engine is equipped with Valvetronic throttle-less intake technology and weighs approximately 355 lbs thanks to its exotic magnesium-aluminum engine block construction. EPA mileage estimates will be available closer to the July on-sale date.
In addition to the standard 8-speed automatic transmission, new 17-inch light alloy wheels with all-season run-flat tires are standard on the 528i, while the optional Sport Package includes 18-inch light alloy wheels with high-performance run-flat tires. Inside, drivers will find standard lumbar support and a larger standard moonroof.
Options and packages for the 528i are very similar to the 535i Sedan with a few exceptions. Xenon headlights will be a stand-alone option on the 528i. The Dynamic Handling Package will provide Driving Dynamics Control and Dynamic Damping Control, which is quick enough to adjust the damping at a rear wheel after a front wheel has encountered a road imperfection at highway speeds. Integral Active Steering is not offered on the 528i.
BMW EfficientDynamics technologies are featured where appropriate on the 528i, including Brake Energy Regeneration, Valvetronic, Electric Power Steering, and on-demand operation of engine accessory drives. Lightweight materials are used to balance the vehicle. Components such as doors, hood, front fenders, and suspension assemblies are made of aluminum.
The driver assistance systems offered with the new 5 Series include an all-new Parking Assistant, Top View cameras, and Frontal Collision Warning with application of the brakes when ordered with Active Cruise Control plus Stop & Go. Other driver assistance features available include Active Blind Spot Detection, Lane Departure Warning, a Head-Up Display, and BMW Night Vision with Pedestrian Detection.
The BMW 528i will join the 535i and 550i in BMW showrooms in the US in July.

Shouldn't this press release be posted in the F10 5er sedan thread, rather than the F11 Touring thread ?
Just asking.
