Summary:
This is a great car. Fast, smooth, powerful, good stereo. I love the I Control system. I get better mileage than advertised and I am a somewhat agressive driver. I average 23-24 mpg, more when highway driving.

Strengths:
Engine (BMW makes the best), style, power, handling.

Weaknesses:
I didn't get the sport package. Wish that I had. It handles and rides great but the sport package is more me. That is a personal decision.

Summary:
EXCELLENT WELL BALANCED VEHICLE. BEING AN AUTO ENTHUSIAST I TRADED A 2007 530XI FOR THE NEWER ENGINE. THE CAR IS PHENOMENAL. IT IS FAST BEYOND BELIEF. 6 CYL. @300HP IS ALMOST UNHEARD OF. THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO TURBO LAG AT ALL. THE ONLY DOWN SIDE IS I GAVE UP SOME ECONOMY BY GOING FOR THE 535. OTHER THAN THAT. THE CAR IS GREAT.

Strengths:
ENGINE, TRANS, TURBOS, POWER AND HANDLING

Weaknesses:
NAVIGATION SYSTEM, CUP HOLDERS, FUEL ECONOMY
