Question I am asking myself with this one is why did they get out of Formula 1? They had everything going for them. The look is very tempting, One of those when you take a look at, you feel like you are looking at a car that wants to be driven. This 5 series has surpassed the old 5 series because that car is still marketable to date. Driving the old 5 series still gets you noticed as you cruise the street, so one can imagine what strides had to be taken to come up with the new BMW 5 series.
Drove the 535, acceleration is really rapid so overtaking that annoying rig is no longer hard work. Braking on this car is very impressive. Not tested cornering at high speed but from the width of the car, the center of gravity is very low. Electronics have moved up a notch. No longer is it a standard BMW interior, but the handbrake is electronic. Ignition is now a button and the car only starts with the key in close proximity to the sensors, by this I mean in your pocket. The driver’s seater is made to follow the curves on your bottom plus the armrest is more accommodating for the elbow while you can still twig a few controls on the armrest. Automatic lever is such that to change gears you just push the lever forward or backwards after releasing the lock on the lever.
This new reverse camera thing is really catching on and it’s really convenient too.
All in all this is a good step forward for BMW and worth taking a look at. While you are at it, its the weekend, Lets be safe out there and not drink and drive please. Enjoy The Hungarian Formular 1 Grand Prix
