Short History

The first BMW 535i came out in 1986 as part of the 5 Series. Before that, BMW had been producing 5 Series vehicles such as the BMW E12 5-Series, which was the most successful car in the world at that time, a title it held for six years in a row. The 5 Series has the distinction of being the only sedan released in 1972 with full manual transmission. The 535i has not had a continuous run, but when it has been in production, it has sold well. It was the face of the BMW sedan until 1993 when the V8 took on that responsibility, but the 535i hasn't lost all its popularity and is now available in both sedan and hatchback styles. The current models offer a variety of choices from low-emissions engines to the BMW xDrive, an award-winning four-wheel-drive option. 

Specific Care

One of the advantages of a 535i is the relative ease of finding spare parts. The interior is fitted with a variety of smart technology and safety features, which can be complicated to repair, but many mechanics are enthusiastic about what's under the hood. It has a gasoline engine, though some models are moving toward hybrid engines for increased eco-friendly stats. It has a standard six cylinders and averages 23 miles to the gallon. The xDrive is BMW's four wheel drive option, which offers optimized drive when you need it. The eight-speed automatic transmission works in perfect sync with this system to get power where it's needed to keep this little sedan from getting stuck. Like many German cars, the mechanical parts on the 535i can be a bit delicate. Some parts are buried pretty deep inside the car's compact hood, so maintenance sometimes takes a bit longer and can be more expensive than in some other brands. If you're a home mechanic, don't let the relative complexity make you balk from making repairs, though, as long as you know what you're doing with reasonable certainty and are getting a great deal on parts from PartsGeek.com.
