Overall rating 4.5/5This version of the popular 5 Series line-up is known for strong engines and quality interiors, standing out as a top pick among luxury cars. With power and poise, the BMW 535 caters to those wanting the very best in a well-balanced business saloon or estate. It’s often praised for its refined engines, smooth drive and premium interiors, with F10 (2010–2017) and G30 (2017–present) generations offering up-to-date features. There’s a choice of petrol (535i) and diesel (535d), as well as saloon and estate variants. Compared to rivals like the Mercedes E-Class or Audi A6, it feels sportier and more driver-focused while maintaining a classy executive atmosphere and comfort. Inside, it offers upmarket upholstery, spacious passenger area, and practical boot capacity. Running costs can be higher than average, but the combination of relaxed driving and power makes the 535 hard to beat.
