Outstanding
THE GOOD
The 2008 BMW 535i drives like a dream, getting power from its brilliantly engineered, twin-turbo, 6-cylinder engine. The integration of live traffic with the car's navigation system is the finest we've seen; its hands-free cell phone system is top notch; and the audio quality from its premium sound system is excellent.
THE BAD
The stereo doesn't show ID3 tag information from MP3 tracks. Destination entry on the navigation system isn't as easy as it could be, and it doesn't default to a map display.
THE BOTTOM LINE
The 2008 BMW 535i is a really exceptional car, offering a great driving experience and an impressive array of electronics in the cabin. From its shifter to its live traffic system, its innovative features should make any techie drool.
