I'm looking forward to the 535i, personally. A bit bigger and should have enough oomph for the bigger vehicle w/o having to jump up to a 550. The 335i sedan I was in last night was really nice, as was the 335i coupe. Interior seemed a bit cramped for me though. Maybe I didn't have the seat adjusted right, but my current ride has more space (or at least feels like it). -Paul

Replying to: tayl0rd (Oct 20, 2006 8:58 am) The reasons for needing to turbo the v8 are similar to the i-6. BMW doesn't like to make the cylinders much bigger than 1/2 liter, for the sake of smoothness, but there's a horsepower race going on at the same time. So the engine size will be dropped close to 4 liters, but horsepower/torque will probably be 400 each. Again, this is rumor, but it makes sense.

Replying to: tayl0rd (Oct 20, 2006 8:58 am) There is a plan to replace the 530i with the N54 engine to give us a 535i. Possible MY2008 or MY2009 line up is: 550i with the bi-turbo 4.4 V8 engine 535i with the bi-turbo 3.0 I6 engine 528i with the detuned NA 3.0 engine
