PROcede for the 535i
It works. Going to spend the rest of the week confirming the calibration. The car (Sapphire Black Metallic with Step) only has 640 miles on the clock right now. Initial dyno results to come within the next couple of days.
Cheers, shiv |

I saw several 535's yesterday at a Plano dealership. There are no paddles. Do you just click from the stick? I would love the room in one, but would need wheels pronto. PRoceded 5 could be interesting at lease end.

yep, and by that time, the money factor rates on 535 may drop to an acceptable figure. |

At least when my boss and I went to get our cars, his 530 was $56,000. My 335 was $47,000. Same lease terms, his is $20 more per month. I could not be a 530 guy but the 5's have great factors. It will be worth a peek. Especially if I could get TiAg and coral.

Nice job Shiv. I heard that the 335I's engine will be offered in other BMW cars possibly the X3 next. More possibilities for you my friend

The above comment is not correct. The trans in the 335 and 535 is the same.

i doubt you'll get a lot of business from 535 owners...
the ones that buy it are adult, matured businessmen...they're not gonna PROcede their cars...

I'm very selfish... I would prefer that you work on getting V2 out instead of the 535.

um actually it is correct. The auto in the new 535 is running a new setup that allows it to lock clutches up to bypass the torque converter once the car is launced. The current 335i does not have this. It also features the new electronic selector and shifts faster and is more efficient than the 335i's auto.

I don't think this is correct. The steptronics are supposed to both be the new ZF lump, just with differnt programing. |
