The 5 series is known as the “executive” car. Lots of reviews out there claim that the new 5 series is boring, soulless and mundane. However these reviews are based on the the truly
horrible 528, 535i or worse the 535i diesel
The 550i and M5 completely dispel this notion.These cars are BMW incarnate!
Nonetheless, what the poorer 5 series lacks in soul and pure driving experience, it makes up in comfort and practicality.t’s targeted towards a different market.
If you want more spirit, you’ll have to either go for a 550, a M5 or smaller M .
Yes, it’s a large sedan and there are a lot of options to choose from: 528i, 535i, 535d, 550i and the M5. There’s also a gran turismo version as well as a Xdrive option.
which is a weighty option with few benefits as BMW all wheel drive is not quite the best.Heavy and power robbing, with limited AWD ability.
The question is, which one is the sweet spot between value, performance and practicality? This past weekend, I drove the 535i and the 550i RWD. In a nutshell
, I would lean hard towards the 550i. It’s a very huge step up from the 535i, in terms of power, and it’s only a tiny tiny step down from the M5. It’s something you can drive every day,
and for the occasional spirited run, you have something exciting.
Power
Let’s just cut to the chase—the 535i gets the job done with its turbo inline 6. Yes, you can accelerate plenty fast, but there isn’t a moment where you say “wow” because of the power.
For car enthusiasts, the 535i will feel under powered. The 5 series is a heavy sedan and needs more than 300hp/300lb torque. The engine is always working a little harder than
it should in order to get up to speed. Notice I omit the 528i altogether as it is more Toyota than BMW
On the other hand, the 550i is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Power (450hp/485lb torque) feels like it’s available at any RPM thanks to it’s turbo V8. Let me emphasize that again
—TURBO V8. The power is borderline savage… The brochure says 0-60 in 4.2s—that’s the same speed as a stock 2015 Porsche 911 S. It’s a Porsche killer,
but g’damn, it’s a sleeper. It has to be pushing closer to 4.0 seconds flat.When you put your foot down, it’ll pin you and your passengers. The power is astronomical,
yet the car can be driven in a civilized way.
Handling
Both the cars I drove shared an 8 speed automatic transmission, all season tires, the desirable Luxury package. Both cars felt the same around corners, bumps and braking.
The automatic transmission made it easy to shift gears, but there is a little latency. That latency is slightly amplified by a minuscule amount of turbo lag in the 535 car
The 550i is targeted towards a different market. If you want more spirit, you’ll have to either step up to the 550i or buy something other than a Bimmer. The 528 is
just a mileage clown car that struggles with a great effort to even get moving.
Overall, the 5 Series feels well planted and handles like a small car.
The only slight flaw is the electric steering feel—you definitely feel slightly less connected than a traditional hydraulic system from the ground.
When people say the 5 series lacks soul, they need to drive the Honking powerful V8 Twin Turbo 550i.
Comfort
The 5 series is the “Ultimate Comfort Machine”. You could drive for hours on any kind of road surface, and it just soaks it all up. After test driving numerous cars, I have to say that BMW
probably makes some of the best seats in the business. The back seats are just as comfy. There’s plenty of head, leg, arm, and hip room. Everything is snug without being tight.
People who drive a 5 series enjoy the finer things in life, and probably would never take a coach seat (even on a short flight). You could say that the 5 series says that the driver lives a more affluent lifestyle.
Oh by the way, the 5 is also super quiet… and that makes conversations with passengers enjoyable. It also makes the music sound better. The BMW is very refined when it comes to comfort
and ergonomics. Even the cup holders are in smart places. Based on my experience with the 535 and 550, I think it’s safe to say that any of cars in the 5 series lineup will be a champion of comfort.
But of course the 550i just makes it so effortless.
Style
The 2016 5 series has often been described as a “small 7 series”. This claim is very true, both on the exterior and in the interior. Is the 5 series beautiful to look at? I think the design is
elegant, sophisticated and modern. I would say that the interior is probably one of my favorites at the moment. The interior styling feels perfect. The 5 will turn heads, but then again,
I think it’s designed to draw attention. To me, the styling is a huge improvement over the last generation of 5’s.
Conclusion
In my humble opinion, the 535i is a wonderful sedan that does an exceptional job of comfort. It, however, completely lacks authenticity that you’d expect in a BMW. If you want better mileage,
power to weight, and value, go for a 335i instead. Otherwise, the 535i lacks the power to really elevate the experience you’ve always anticipated. In short, it’s too heavy.
If you want a serious BMW experience, get the 550i. It’s much cheaper than the M5 (approximately $30k less), and provides ridiculous amounts of power… yet the car feels totally balanced.
The 550i does almost everything well. As I get older, I find myself wanting less noise and knife-edge thrills. Instead, I want more comfort and privacy… and the 550 is truly a “sports sedan”
that blends all the right things together. The 550i won’t start conversations or turn heads, but damn it’s one hell of a car!!… and when you need to smoke the guy in the 335i, or 911S you’ve got
the juice. Basically thee 550i gives you virtually all specs of the Alpina B7 for a whole lot less. The latest 550i's also have greatly enhanced electronics and sound than early models.

Technology of the new Twin Turbo Direct Injection V8
BMW’s new 2016 N63, 4.4-litre twin-turbo, direct injected mill, With 450hp and a
hefty 485 pound /feet of torque
BMW's twin-SCROLL turbo4.4L V8has been a rousing success, with nothing less
and direct injection to serve up a torque curve that's far beefier and flatter than
Undoubtedly, the most unique feature of the 4.4L TT is the packaging of the
turbochargers in the valley between the cylinder banks.
This is made possible by the swapping of the intake and exhaust ports in the cylinder
heads, with the exhaust now exiting towards the middle. This allows the turbochargers
to be mounted in the valley with minimal plumbing, which means less bulk, lower
weight and better efficiency.
Immediately after exiting the turbochargers, the exhaust gases enter the catalysts.
It's important to keep the cats as close as possible, as the exhaust carries heat that
is required for the converters' operation.
Packaging the cats in this location underneath the hood must present some
interesting insulation challenges!
Instead of expensive variable-vane technology, each turbo makes use of fixed
geometry and relatively simple wastegates.
Each compressor is fed via a black oval-shaped duct, as shown above.
Between the compressor outlet and the intake manifolds lie a pair of air-to-
water intercoolers, one for each bank. Such an intercooler reduces packaging
volume and tract length compared to a top- or front-mounted air-to-air heat exchanger.
Immediately downstream of the intercoolers lie a pair of electronically-
controlled throttle bodies.
Below each centrally-located coil-on-plug (COP) assembly resides the
direct injector, along with the feed lines and fuel rail. It's presumed that
piezoelectric injectors are employed here, which are fast enough to allowseveral injection events per combustion cycle
