What is the book value of a 2012 BMW 535i?
All-wheel drive (xDrive) adds approximately $2,000, the 535i is over $53,000 and the 550i xDrive has a base MSRP of $64,000. GT versions start just under $58,000 for a 535i Gran Turismo with a 6-cylinder and rear-wheel drive to nearly $70,000 for an all-wheel-drive 550i xDrive Gran Turismo with a V8 engine.
Is the 2012 BMW 535i Twin Turbo?
The 2012 BMW 5-Series is a line of stylish mid-size sport sedans. The top 400-horsepower, 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 engine can launch the 5-Series to 60 mph in about five seconds, but most will be happy with the 535i and its 300-hp, turbocharged six.
How long will a BMW 535i last?
A BMW 5 Series should be able to last between 150,000 to 200,000 miles if taken care of properly. Reports show that many models can last up to 370k miles, but this kind of longevity can be reached only after several costly repairs and replacements keep the car on the road.
What kind of engine does the BMW 535i have?
Suffice it to say the 528i has a six-cylinder, the 535i has a turbocharged six-cylinder and the 550i has a turbocharged V-8. See them compared here. I tested the 535i and 550i with rear-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is available for both of these levels, designated “xDrive.”
Is the xDrive standard on the BMW 5 Series?
As with every 5 Series, rear-wheel drive is standard and “xDrive” all-wheel drive is optional. Also standard is an eight-speed automatic transmission and an automatic stop/start function that shuts down the engine when the car stops in order to save fuel.
What kind of seats does a BMW 535 have?
One big sticking point for me — which, again, is par for the course with BMWs — is the standard leatherette (that’s fake leather) seats in the 528i and 535i. Real leather is optional on these and standard on the 550i.
Is the BMW 528i an all wheel drive?
For 2012, the BMW 528i trades in its straight-6 in favor of a more efficient (and more powerful) turbocharged four-cylinder. All-wheel drive is also offered on the 528i this year. An automatic stop/start system is now standard on both the 528i and 535i, with the latter getting improved fuel economy as a result.
