Used BMW 535i for Sale

What's New in the 2022 BMW 535i?

A little extra tech makes its way into the cabin in the form of mobile-office functioning (with text messaging, email, calendar, tasks, voice memos and photos of contacts available) and in the added ability to link up a second phone with Bluetooth.

Some stock wheel designs have been changed. The 550i now has a power trunk lid, satellite radio and a Harman Kardon surround-sound system as standard. The ActiveHybrid 5 gains gearshift paddles as standard, and in the interests of durability, the Venetian Beige upholstery option now comes with black carpeting, door panels and other interior accents. See the 2016 BMW 5 Series models for sale near you

Which 535i is the Best?

There really isn't a bad choice; it all boils down to budget and personal preference. The 535d is an obvious pick because of its excellent torque combined with decent economy, but the twin-turbo V8 in the 550i is something else -- and remember that a new generation is scheduled for 2017. Find a BMW 5 Series for sale

How Much Does a 2022 BMW 535i Cost?

The 2016 BMW 5 Series sedan comes as a 4-cylinder 528i, 6-cylinder 535i, turbodiesel 535d, V8-powered 550i and ActiveHybrid 5. The high-performance M5 and 5-door Gran Turismo models are reviewed separately.

The 528i ($51,195) comes standard with the turbocharged inline-4 engine, 17-inch alloy wheels, adaptive xenon headlamps, LED running lights/fog lights/taillights, a sunroof, power-folding heated side mirrors, an electronic limited-slip differential, leatherette upholstery, 10-way power front seats with lumbar support and driver memory, a power tilt-telescopic steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, iPod/USB and Bluetooth connectivity, a 12-speaker audio system and the iDrive infotainment system with navigation, 20 gigabytes of digital music storage and a 10.2-in central display screen.

The 535i ($56,845) adds a turbocharged inline-6, 18-in wheels and leather upholstery.

The 535d ($58,345) runs a turbodiesel inline-6 but is otherwise comparable to the 535i.

The ActiveHybrid 5 ($63,095) is essentially a 535i with an electric propulsion system added to the turbo inline-6, although quad-zone climate control with individual temperature settings also comes as standard.

The 550i ($67,295) rocks a twin-turbo V8, front and rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, a hands-free power trunk lid with a foot sensor, keyless entry/push-button starting, a Harman Kardon audio system and 14-way multicontour power front seats with memory settings for the driver and front passenger.

All-wheel drive is a $2,300 option on all except the ActiveHybrid 5, which is rear-drive only.

Many standard features in the higher trims are available as options on lower trims. There are also numerous packages and individual options, including a head-up display, a night-vision system, automatic parking, an adaptive suspension, rear-wheel steering, a dual-screen rear entertainment system and a 16-speaker/600-watt Bang & Olufsen audio system.

The trunk measures 14 cu ft., which is low for a midsize sedan, but it's a usefully deep cargo area. The ActiveHybrid 5, however, only holds 10 cu ft. because of the extra hardware it has to accommodate.
