New 2010 BMW 535

The 2010 version of the BMW 535 remains essentially the same as the previous model and successfully combines performance, comfort and luxury.

The 2010 BMW 535 is the luxury manufacturer’s mid-level midsize sport sedan/wagon in its 5 Series, which also includes the entry-level 528 and premium 550. As the next step up in size from the 3 Series, the 535 is available in either rear- or all-wheel-drive (xDrive) configurations and powered by a 300-horsepower, 3.0-liter inline-6 coupled to a six-speed automatic with auto-manual shift or six-speed manual transmission. The 2010 BMW 535 is EPA-rated at 16-17 mpg in the city and 23-26 mpg on the highway.

The 2010 BMW 535 remains unchanged from the previous model year and faces competition from the Audi A6, Lexus GS and Acura RL in the luxury sedan segment. Standard 17-inch alloy wheels feature all-season tires, and optional 18-inch alloys feature seasonal tires. On the exterior, the 2010 BMW 535 features an elongated front end, LED turn signals, rain-sensing windshield wipers and adaptive headlights that turn in the direction you turn the steering wheel.

Inside, the 2010 BMW 535's spacious cabin is adorned in faux leather, but leather trim is always available. Standard features include a sunroof, power front seats with driver memory, automatic climate control, push-button start, MP3 auxiliary jack, a power tilt/telescoping steering wheel and increased storage capacity in the center console. Additional comfort and convenience amenities include a navigation system with iDrive, which utilizes an LCD screen and console-mounted dial to control audio, climate, navigation and communication functions. Heated front and rear seats, HD radio and a windshield display that projects your course and speed are also offered.

A full complement of standard safety technologies, including antilock brakes, electronic stability control, front, side-impact and side curtain airbags, hill start assist and hill descent control, has helped the 2010 BMW 535 earn five stars for front passenger protection and front and rear side protection in government crash tests. Additional safety features include rear side-impact airbags and a lane-departure warning system that alerts you if your car starts to veer from its lane.

The 2010 BMW 535 sport sedan/wagon is equipped with a powerful, yet fuel-efficient, engine and packed with modern technology for added luxury and convenience.
