Any chance of a 535i?

[alfaspiderman2]

it would seem logical but does anyone know if actually BMW plans to make a 5 Series with the 3.0 Twin Turbo petrol?

id put money on it!

in fact the 5 series is due for a revamp in the next few monthes i think, and i wouldn't be surprised if the 535i was released aswell.

have you had a chance to test either the 335 diesel or petrol yet?

[alfaspiderman2]

still waiting for a date in the petrol

dealer rang today

doesn't have a 335i manual that I can drive...has a 330 Auto in a couple of weeks...that'll be the same then (not)

he's gone away to source a car for me to drive

on the positive side, he's going to let me have it for 24hrs when he find one

i have a holiday home in woodgreen (parents are on there way now actually) if i go down there for a weekend anytime soon your welcome to take mine out for a spin if you havn't driven one by then of course.

New forest roads are a joy in it aswell (40 limit though officer)

335i manual m sport saloons are rare rare beasts...

thanks - we've spoken about that on a previous thread

sure the dealer will come through in the end...have said I'll accept a drive in a 330 Manual if there's absolutely nothing available

Interesting.. Because i understood the twin turbo six was only meant for the 3, X3 and maybe the 1. Only because the V8 wont fit (twin turbo six and 4.0 V8 have roughly the same power and torque outputs). Cant wait to find out!
