These are quotes from Edmunds.com:
 
“An M35x AWD we tested sprinted to 60 mph in 6.9 seconds and ran the quarter-mile in 14.9 seconds. The V8-powered M45 hit 60 in 5.7 seconds and completed the quarter in 14.4 seconds.”
 
“This 2008 BMW 535i test car with an automatic transmission effectively equaled the acceleration of a 2006 BMW 550i equipped with a manual transmission. The 535i's 5.5-second acceleration to 60 mph proves a sedan doesn't need the 550i's V8 engine to be quick.”

All Wheel Drive Vs. Rear Wheel Drive?

Per the BMW web site, the AWD 535Xi is faster 0 - 60 than the RWD 535i.

This is not that unusual. I remember a couple of reviews of the new G35 sedan last year noting that the AWD version was quicker off the mark in early acceleration.

#143 of 143 Trouble deciding (M35x vs. E350) by bman7

Can't decide on the 2. Looking to lease. The deal on the M is about $75/month less than the E350. Any recent leasees??
