Well, The twin turbo keeps its 0-100 in 5.2 sec-promise. Mine is white with white leather and it looks pretty sharp, I must admit. It simply drives like a dream. Extreme comfort without loosing the sensation of sporty and crisp reaction and performance.

The palette of accessories is created under the philosophy: "If we can think of it, lets make it".  It comes with a lot standard and the rest of it exists with guarantee.

On the economic side. Well it is rather thirsty (<20 mpg if you do not drive carefully. A On the pros side (in the US at least) BMW USA has a 4 year zero cost service program included. We were also looking at Mercedes, Audi and Porche. None of these gave this option. I have never driven a better or more complete car. But it changed my driving pattern in the more aggressive direction :-)

Pros: Performance balanced well with comfort. Sport, quality and luxury blended into a VERY sharp look.
Cons: ...I can only think of the gas mileage.

BMW has suggested that the new 5-Series GT would replace
the 5-Series Touring (wagon) in their North American lineup,
due to slow sales of the E61 wagon in the United States, with
only 400 sold in 2009. In that country, more BMW M5 and Z8s
have been sold than the 535i and 540i wagons, respectively.
BMW is targeting annual sales of 4000 to 8000 5 Series GTs.

Pros: its 4 wd, so better hanling
Cons: bbbb

no turbo lag, smooth, improved idrive, very, very
happy. great performance, everything just works.

2 months old now, no surprises, it just does what
it's told. only disappointment is the unique bmw
shifter, different from all other automatics. wanted
a stick, but couldn't wait the 8 weeks, and would
have had to pay for a 2010.

Pros: xdrive, 300 hp
Cons: expense

This car is absolutely amazing. It is a gorgeous car both inside and out. Its performance gives it that true racecar feel that it deserves and its owner deserves. The new technologicaly advanced GPS and computer is extremely easy to use and good for someone driving who might only have a couple of seconds to look at it.

Pros: Everything about this car is absolutely amazing
Cons: I haven't found anything negative about this car except its a little expensive for the mid-class person

I was worried about buying a sedan for the heavy
winters we have, but after the first major snow, the
bmw 535XI's X-drive proved its self even with the
stock tires.  This car has a great interior set up despite
the "criticized" I-drive system which is actually very
easy to use. The 3.0L supercharged V6 engine has an abundance of power and shows bmw's performance
quality.

Pros: powerful I-drive and X-drive systems, fun to drive, good all year around in almost every climate.
Cons: Small-ish rear seats, and lack of storage space in front seats.
