The BMW 5 SERIES (2010-13) 535I 4DR SALOON 3.0 EU5 306 SE 6SPD is a premium executive saloon and a roomy alternative to an SUV, aimed at buyers wanting space and refinement beyond a family hatchback. In the UK, it sits among rivals such as the Audi A6 and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. With its 3.0-litre petrol engine and 306hp, this 535i is an energetic choice in the range, offering brisk progress for motorway journeys and overtaking. The SE trim focuses on comfort, suiting commuters, business drivers and families who value a spacious cabin and relaxed long-distance travel over low running costs.
