2011 BMW 535i (Euro spec)

HI-RES GALLERY: 2011 BMW 535i (Euro spec)

Whether you find the 5-Series Gran Turismo's back gorgeous or simply engorged, its sleeker sedan sister is more univerally attractive, and it's priced to look even better, with the new $50,475 (including delivery) 535i coming in over $1,000 below the current car's price tag. The 550i is priced about the same as last year, at $60,575.

Unlike some other updated sedans, the 5-Series also continues its tradition of offering an available six-speed manual transmission, while the rest of the powertrain lineup gets updates. A new eight-speed automatic transmission joins the 5er range, as does the new N54 single, twin-scroll turbocharged inline six-cylinder (535i). The 550i gets the 400-horsepower 4.4-liter reverse-flow, twin-turbo V-8.

Other key updates to the new 5-Series include an updated familial face, underpinnings shared in part with the 7-Series, more EfficientDynamics tech like brake energy regeneration and electric power steering, plus some new driver-assistance tech like a "top view" camera, parking assistant and frontal collision warning systems.
