I believe the 535i will compete favourable with the M45 in terms of performance, and the price entry point of the 535i will negate the only disadvantage 550i suffered? So if the 535i is on par with the M45 in terms of performance and if they cost approximately the same(US), I see no reason why they can't and shouldn't be compared. | |

| Re: *Mid-Size Sedan BATTLE* (E-class, A6, 5 series...)! The new FL 535i is the obvious choice-so id go with the five series. I saw some new ones at the dealer-they look fantastic-plus the addition of soft buttons in the interior is really a plus. Its gorgeous, all the way around, and according to BMW only .2 s slower to 60 than the 550i. |

I suppose the V8 is much heavier than the I6, but still, that's quite impressive! | |

| Re: *Mid-Size Sedan BATTLE* (E-class, A6, 5 series...)! even more interesting is that the 535xi is only .1 second slower-now i would guess the differences get much larger as speeds increase but still....what a great car. |
