Hey guys, I hope you all have a good day. I'm about to get a daily drive car near my M6. Which one is better? F10 535 or 550. I need you opinions about these two for daily drive car, on the side of M6.
Personally, I find the noises made by the F10 528i and 535i's engines to be a terrible racket. They sound awful. The F10 makes a decent noise, although it's near silent.
As an aside, I can't speak to the auto transmission. The only 550i I have driven is my father's and he went for the manual! :noSMG: I actually prefer it to the 6sp in my e60 M5.

I know a few folks who had the V8 care package "recall". Was for builds thru mid/late 2013 iirc.
All of the V8's (non-M) were affected (again iirc).
I would like to believe that BMW still makes a solid straight 6 (hence my wife's 535). But like most cars the peripherals die before the engine - so who knows.
The specs on BMW's site (link above) show 413ft/lbs with 560 in parenthesis. At the bottom of the page they say "Figures in [ ] apply to vehicles with Sport Package or M Sport Package." Square brackets are not parenthesis - how can the sport package add ~150 ft/lbs? That would make it a 550d (which is also 6 cylinder). I am not sure what the 560 number is.
Maybe worth looking into - or maybe not :smile
What ever you get - get one with the M-Sport package. Looks a lot better than the base trim.
Programmed 535d gives 400hp/800nm, solid engine, no expensive problems and quite fast.
