New 2010 BMW 535

Introduced to the U.S. in 1972, the 2010 version of the BMW 535i remains the same as the previous model and successfully combines performance, comfort and luxury.

The 2010 BMW 535i is the luxury manufacturer’s mid-level midsize sport sedan/wagon in BMW’s 5 Series, which also includes the entry-level 528i and premium 550i. As the next step up in size from the 3 Series, the 535i 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 535i is EPA rated at 16-17 mpg in the city and 23-26 mpg on the highway.

The 2010 BMW 535i remains unscathed from the previous model year and faces competition from Audi A6, Lexus GS and Acura RL in the luxury sedan segment. Sitting on 17-inch alloy wheels with all-season tires or available 18-inch alloys with seasonal tires, on the exterior, the 2010 BMW 535i 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 535i’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 windshield display that projects your speed and navigational course 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 535i 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 535i sport sedan/wagon is equipped with a powerful, yet fuel-efficient, engine and packed with modern technology for added luxury and convenience.
