Mine is on 295,000. Totally reliable in last 7 years. I do look after it, services early, every 10k. Gearbox Transmission service every 100k . Timming chain at 200k but they said it was in good shape. Never gonna sell it. I recomend full emmision delete to stop dpf cat egr getting bunged up with black carbon soot. Plus a remap. Mine is running about 360 hp 520lbs. Can do a bit more but i backed off for durability, exhaust temps were too high. 34mpg is low, i get 40s now and mid 50s on the highway. Great car.
This is impressive! Where are you located? Would love to keep mine running this long and I know a delete is necessary for that to happen. At what mileage did you delete and tune?
Is that 295 000 miles or kms?
@@mrbokke81 well now its reached 304,000 km. And i just fitted E.Primacy tyres. Highway fuel consumption is in 60s mpg now. Town mpg is high 40s. This summer im driving all over Europe, Turkey Italy Portugal. Probably gonna add well over 10,000 km in July and August. I cant recommend E Primacy yet. Need to drive them more km. But first impressions are amazing fuel consumption, with scuttleshake on bumpy roads mid corner and poor wet weather performance in very heavy rain, aquaplaining. Light rain is manageable, slow down with these tyres because they have less wet grip (Only 6mm thread depth brand new). This tyre really needs 8mm or much more thread depth to help disperse water in heavy rain. Steering weight is noticeably lighter in dry conditions and even worse in wet weather.
@@hungrysurfer9471 my goodness that's impressive. I've been driving a 520d for years and I'm feeling like a serious upgrade. The 535d certainly sounds reliable!
@@mrbokke81 Thanks martin. Just wondering what sort of mpg do you get in town and on the motorway with your 520d. When i first got mine town was 30s mpg and motorway 40s mpg. Now its much better 40s and 60s mpg after all the mods mentioned above. Have you ever maxed out the top speed ? Can your reach 140 mph ?
My 535d has been reliable thanks to a bit of preventative maintenance. The rear suspension is a self leveling system that needs maintenance and some seals / fluids. I did those every 125k. They were not yet knackered but were going to need work soon. Right rear hub went at 280k but i chose to change both left and right hubs.
My thinking is 2 important factors. First is that since they cost a lot of money to buy new and then they depreciate massively year 1 to 5. If I spend money on looking after it properly, it might last 15 to 20 years. If I invest in looking after it so it lasts, the depreciation years 6 to 20 is so much lower. Can you imagine loosing 40k per car 3 or 4 times in 20 years if you owned 4 cars. So you save a fortune keeping 1 car long term.
Second factor is I dont like the way the new version drives and I hate the technology. If BMW brought back the nice steering feel, round dials and gave you a option to remove all the technology id consider trying one. But my 535 is much nicer to drive than the new version and has simpler less tech. Plus better fuel consumption with a bigger tank. Thats why I want to keep mine forever, its a much better car to drive as a daily than the new model. I have tried new 540d, 330d both (f31 & g21). BMW removed steering feel and made it too light. Plus added tech which i dont want on the car like steering that steers itself into the center of a lane and hitting a cyclist you were trying to steer around. Or braking for no reason at the wrong moment when there is nothing infront of you.
My neighbour has a mint E30 325i from the 1980s. He bought it new and looked after it. He said the steering and handling is amazing. Hes never gonna sell it.
Video starts at 9:54
thanks for the time saving mate
🤣🤣
Thanks mate......Talk about fluff 🙄
thanks I appreciated
Thanks bra
I had a shot of Johnnie Walker everytime you said :awesome"... I finished the bottle....
Feels like he drove the 120k miles doing the review!
video starts at 9:54, this literaly could have been a 1-3 minute long video.
Regardless of the video it's an absolutely brilliant car. I can vouch. Best thing I've ever owned and I'm 57 and have owned/accumulated a lot of stuff over the yrs...no need for me to buy another car until i decide to go electric..
Is it still doing well?
I stumbled across this review by accident, and I could have not been more surprised when you made the right onto Willardshire Road from Seneca Street :). I know that area well, as my sister lives in East Aurora and my brother lives in Elma. That 535d is a great one. One of my dear friends in Germany has one with a a 6-speed manual transmission, and it is a wonderful Autobahn road car!
I have owned a 2014 535D for over 2 years now, and at 90k miles, this car has been problem free and very good to me. It is fun to drive and very economical on diesel fuel yet tons of power and torque.
HI IM THINKING TO BUY 1 SOON
Been another year, I’m wondering if you still love the car?
@@xd2tone Yeah come on J Z, how's the car? DPF?
Yeah I'm on my second 535d xdrive, will still be on the first one if somebody didn't run a red light and T-Bone me. I'm at 95,000 mi problem free on my second 535d
@@charleskane1501 Nice one bro , just purchased mine couple weeks ago and love it , still cant get enaugh how fast it is.
Interestin vid,since I have recently bought a 2021 530d which has 286 bhp and 480lb/ft.so essentially the same car with a bit more power and torque.Nice to see how they stand up to higher mileage,mine go 14K on it at present and I do about 7k per yr,so it should last quite a long time. Thanks for vid,I enjoyed it.
Good and interesting video! Thanks for posting it.
Good job revving the snot out it right after a cold start.
EXACTLY..!!! Ignorance is bliss! beating the sh&* out of it through the video as well. . does the real owner know?
checking the synthetic adherence...
BMW issued a campaign to extend emission related warranty for 10 years on this model. The DPF might have been replaced under warranty.
I’m getting a train 240 miles to London tomorrow to pick up my DPF deleted 535D. Can’t wait to blast it all the way home up the A1 💨💨💨
Getting my 535xd tomorrow.. 👍🏻😀
How does it pass MOT ? What's the catch?
If the DPF needs replacing simply install a delete pipe and get a remap
Except if your live in California or some other somg check state
miles per tank on average driving? what about his MPG? sorry if u already said it im half asleep
thank you for helping to decide on buying the car!
Thomas Springfield do you like it???
How are these for building wise and long term reliability compared to the 535i with the n55 engine.
How many miles on this now? Can you do another review?
Does that have the M bumper added or comes like that? Doesn't quite look like regular bumper
I have a 2015 X5 M40d thats the same engine in an X5 with a true twin turbo. 313 bop 630 nm torc. It’s a beautiful car.a great cruiser with plenty of power and masses of torc. Over here we also have the M50d which is again the same 3 litre straight 6 diesel. With over 400 hp and over 800 nm of torc. I know diesels aren’t popular in the US, but in a country where we dont really do bit gasoline engined cars because of fuel cost, diesels over a great economical and powerful alternative. I also love the way they drive and pull with lots if low down power, it just feels so sweet
535 with 260hp is not bi-turbo ????
@@bojanradic6440 in f10 535d it is biturbo and has 286hp
@@ibmujic4764 No the 535D e60 has 286hp the f10 has 313hp.
Whereas the first thing a lot of us do over here in the UK is remove the diesel particulate filter, I know that makes the car illegal, a lot aren't bothered by that, as it takes away one of the most expensive things to replace on the car and allows for much better tuning capability
Yah know what's awesome, the word Awesome.
Would you mind fixing that tyre pressure?
This review is AWESOME!
I have a 2016 535d with 117k miles. Your video was 1000% accurate
4,000$ was that at the dealership or a good aftermarket shop?
Did you ever had problems with your xdrive?
I own one of these , m sport , in white and do 40.000 miles a year , nearly done 100.000 and except for oil changes and break pads it hasn’t cost me anything , as for the dpf filter you can get it removed for about 400 pounds , and egr and remap included , but so far it’s been faultless and I have owned fords that have all had issues at low miles , the bmw if maintained will run without many issues for 100s of thousand of miles , I know at least 5 people who have ran them to 170.000 miles plus with no issues , except minor ones. The dpf is a problem on all diesels , just get it removed .
They're brake pads.
Dpfs are fine. Been driving dpf cars since 2001
Love bmw all 🔒
My rav4 got totaled last month and my dad is selling me his 535d xdrive and I’m really excited
i had a ac issue with mine it is a 2014 535d the ac compressor froze, broke the tension belt and ended up killing my battery. 3500 us dollars
How often do you add DEF? My friend has one, has never added fluid in 35,000 miles. Does a light come on the dash?
If it's tuned you dotn need to add def
Your thoughts on a 2015 740LD X Drive, same motor and specs. I noticed however that it's poor on the mpg.
Because you have much more weight to pull.
30k ayear & DPF issue @ that price ouch , Love the brown shoe leather colour & Black exterior , Great video
If you can do a review on the BMW 328d to compare with the X5 and 535D good to know the maintenance ahead to prepare or research more about it.
There is no 328d 325 or 330 or 335 d byt 325 is actually 3.0d
@@araihard I have a 2016 328d, great car
A 535d in europe is twin turbo with 313 hp stock
Funny the 535d in the us is a 530d in the uk the 535d f10 here has an exhaust on each side. The 2011 here has 299bhp then went to 313.
Mine is on 98,000, and I've just have to had a rocker cover replacement (£1100) due to an oil leak (which caused smoke in the cabin as it was burning off the engine). Other than that, no issues. Its very quick however I wish I'd have had a petrol engine.
Was there a nail in this cars tire?
Excellent video ! Thanks…One question…I’m deciding between a 2014 Mercedes Benz CLA 250 or the 2014 BMW 535d…any suggestions?
Hopefully you got the Beamer 😹
@@3028va3 I got the 2013 BMW 335i M sport
Remap, dpf delete, 380 bhp and 4000us in your pocket.😂😂
This 🙌🙌
Haha what do you mean?
And how do you pass emissions, may I ask, with dpf delete? Minus US$xxx for remap, delete.. to be consistent.
@@repofinance5070 luckily ontario, canada got rid of the drive clean emissions testing :DDDD i really want one of these
I have a 22 530d now and I want to keep this one. I did 100k in c4 years in my previous 330d and averaged 52mpg.
Did you have to replace a particular filter
@@jankoakovic3564 I don’t recall anything in the latest 2012 330d. I had an older and earlier 2006 330d which had timing belt problems and was fixed under warranty. Other than that nothing.
Awesome, I love this video. The mocha seats are ridic.
Why do you remove the DPF ?? Cut it and drive without DPF?
No it’s a felony
How reliable are the 535 diesels AND the gas motors? I'm thinking of trading my 2016 F150 for a used 2016 5 series. Either gas or diesel.. I'd probably go with whichever is more reliable
Did you ever trade in? Im thinking of trading in my f150 now and getting one but dont want to pay out the ass on repairs
@@autiger0612 nope. After doing a tonne of research, I decided its not worth the cost of ownership. Beautiful cars though, but right now I'm not in a position where I am comfortable in paying through the ass on repairs , payments etc.
@@gous5649 Yea I did a lot more research after commenting and decided it wasn’t worth it either. I think the diesels seem much more reliable than BMW’s gas engines but when they do tear up, repair prices are outrageous. My f150 has treated me well so far so I’m sticking with it haha
$4000 for a DPF installed? Nucking futs!!
Thank u for great review. just one point, un USA 535d has only 255hp in Europe 535d has 313hp and torque is 600. So EU version is much more funny than US. Also, EU version doesnot have DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID and thats great :)
Of course euro models don't need the DEF additive in the car, cause diesel fuel in europe is sold with DEF built in to the fuel.
M L
No no...here in some countries must to have dpf, but in others you can remove it and delete it...nothing to do with the fuel
@@SuperMaxrossi nothing to do with built in fuel additives. DEF is urea and water and the mixture meets with the hot gases and result from the tail pipe is nitrogen and water. DEF is called AdBlue in Europe.
The US 535d is the 530d in Europe.
Can’t you put an upgrade to make it 313hp?
In Russia we have the same 530d that is marked 255 (and 249 for G30 version) and there is an option with software update to make it 286 or 313 I think.
Haha the european 535d Version has 313hp biturbo and dual exhaust. This is real fun, but not available for the US :D
Noone yep totally agree mate lol just love beeing in Europe and the Uk for that reason m sport 535d
@@BMWDoctor What's the torque it outs out?
HP is a made up number that's actually just a ratio based on torque.
Torque, especially in a diesel, especially in an 8 speed, is way way more valuable a metric.
I assume your eu version has more torque also.
BUT, my 7,000 lb pickup with an 8 foot bed will embarrass all these cars at the drag strip :). #rollincoal #murica
Two Watt max output of torque on a stage 2 is with 8 speed over here right now my mate has one pushing 1300nm
M sport version not this crappy version
@@BMWDoctor Well I'm sure it's the same motor just possibly different tune and heads, so unlocking it should be easy. But I meant stock vs stock.
@@BMWDoctor also, 1300 is almost what my pickup comes with from the factory. I suspect the block in your mates BMW is glowing red hot. Hope it holds out as long as the shitty American stock ones do (usually about 400,000 miles before a top end)
I dive a 520d. G30
Amazing car.
55mpg, smooth quiet, refined as muck power as I need.
I don't understand why Americans hate diesel cars, but they love diesel HG'Vs and gas guzzling trucks.
If you had it to do over, would you still buy the diesel or go to gasoline?
This isn't my car but I know the owner doesn't regret the diesel at all. I own a diesel X5 and feel the same way.
I'm not real keen about the prospect of a $4000 filter replacement that ties up a vehicle for 2 months.
drbcrb hammer, chisel, and an ecu remap will fix that
I have a 2009 535d here in England and love everything about it close to 300 HP and 485 lb/ft of torques, it is very fast, very quiet and overtakes are measured in minus numbers :-) One very important fact about the DPF is to keep them in good shape you have to get the exhaust pipes heated up by driving occasional longer distances at higher speeds so that the particles are burnt off and thrown out the back of the exhaust as dust. Driving them around town at 30mph only without getting them up to temp' is not a good thing as the particles end up like tar slowing down the gasses from exiting the pipes.
Likes his own voice too much.

6:12 evil laugh
Beautiful as it is, that car should be having its second transmission fluid change at 120K.
BMW's "lifetime transmission fluid" guidance is a crock of shit. I just drained the pan on my 328d with 72K, and lots of unpleasant black stuff came out with the once-amber fluid. And remember that mine is only digesting 2/3 the engine torque of that straight six.
Let the owner know that he needs to pony up for the service now, or his ZF 8 speed will soon become a very expensive problem.
This is simply not true. The fluid doesn't brake down the way it did in older cars. When we had transmissions without lockup, conventional base stock oil and bands, changing fluid was a part of regular maintenance. With newer electronic transmissions combined with better fluids, you really don't need to change your fluid in your transmission. What you do need to do, however, is replace the transmission once its useful life is over. The number of kilometers a transmission lasts normally comes down to the amount of heat that the transmission has been exposed too.
@@brarautorepairs the manufacturer of these transmissions, ZF, recommends fluid changes as early as 60k miles, so I'm sorry but saying you don't need to change the fluid is incorrect.
The particulate filter for that car hear is only £430
4:21 that’s what she said
An F10 5 series is not heavy for its size... It weighs around 3,700 lbs which is barely more than a Honda Accord of the same year. Aluminum everything. You can pick up the sub frame easily and it weighs half as much as a sub frame from a Honda Civic.
Why did he pay 4k for dpf, should ve just straight pipe it.
YOU IN NJ?
The only available superlative appears to be 'awesome'
How come you don’t have twin exhaust? Just single back box?
Because the America their 535d is actually a single turbo 30d engine. So in other words this is a 530d.
@@jimmymccain4580 ahh ok interesting to know. Thanks for your reply. So they don't have the twin turbo in USA.
So tell me more about this diesel filter.. how often you have to change it? I’m planning of buy a 2015 with 69k, when will I have to change it if i buy it
Usually around 120,000 miles so you should be good for a while.
Caution!!!! Their is a lot of DPF FEAR MONGERING out their. The thing you need to watch out for is your low distance driving. Remember! Diesels are made to run & run & run. Not a short trip vehicle. If you have long commutes then your gonna be totally fine. I have 3 diesel vehicles & never had an issue with the DPF with my long driving habits. Best of luck!!!
Just go on bmw forums, why are you here on TH-cam. E90post and bimmerfest forums. Emissions should not be an issue if you drive this car hwy speeds for a lot of time. Def not a short distance city car, but a hwy cruiser. I’ve already done 30k kms on my 2012 x5d (Total 136k kms now) no issues. Hwy mileage. 10.3 L/100k for a heavy awd, driving like a typical bmw maniac
I want to buy 1
Why not just delete the DPF and do a tune? The car is out of warranty anyway so that shouldn't be a concern. Also, what about the carbon buildup issue?
NY has very strict emissions testing so I'm not sure if deleting the DPF would cause it to fail testing. I haven't heard of a carbon buildup issue with the 535d like there is/was with the 335d. I know my X5 35d has a low pressure EGR and a high pressure EGR where the 335d only has a low pressure EGR. I'm not sure if the 535d has both but I know the owner of this one hasn't had any issues.
th-cam.com/video/2_q8064zAZY/w-d-xo.html @6:10
The 540d is currently on bmw USA website
Yes it is! I can’t wait to drive it. It wasn’t on there yet last year when I filmed this video.
I just drove one and it's very good
Loooooooong video for a short message
$4000 and a two month wait...
Hmmm...that sounds like a nightmare
Even more so if he had to pay for transportation during that time
Let me save everyone 12 minutes. Regular service, Tyres, Brakes replaced and diesel particulate filter for 4000$
100,000 mile review.....should be how well it’s held up and the issues you have had, not about how the exterior, interior and how it performs 🙄
I was thinking to get it. Thanks for telling about filter.
Fun Time I think it’s still worth it for what you get in this diesel but it’s something a lot of buyers don’t know about until they have to replace it. I have a diesel X5 with around 55k miles on it and not looking forward to the inevitable DPF replacement around 120k
The DPF filter can be salvaged by cleaning it. Talk to semi truck owners. Regen is supposed to clean the filter but short trips don't allow the car to regenerate the DPF filter. Also, you could bypass the filter entirely and get a tune to turn off the engine code.
4000$ :D I have Removed It Bought a Downpipe No Problems With MOT in life you can get away With a lot of things so for me 400€ no dps more healtier Engine turbo Plus Mkre efficient Plus More power without tune ..
11213 its illegal in my country as well But you think any one will take you to a test ? Cant allways Be legal !
11213 there are small Gates Allways Extra money thats it .
Apologies for the formatting - looks like TH-cam really wanted to make a mess of it... I've got a 2014 535d that I just bought about 2 months ago with 50,000 miles on it and have a couple of comments:- liked the video, all though I'm curious about the low tire warning - not too sure I'd be driving in a sporting manner with that on the display >;- that car is quite far from well equipped, mine has:> lane departure (I know, I'm not a fan of it either...);> blind spot monitor - does not work anywhere near as good as the one in my former car (now my wife's, 2013 Lexus ES350) and I don't trust it 100%;> front side cameras (very nice for coming out into pedestrian traffic when exiting some parking garages, or even when pulling out of some shopping mall parking spots when the huge suvs are all around you;> Bang & Olufsen sound system - absolutely fantastic! Blows away the Mark Levinson in the Lexus - absolutely worth the money - when I first got it, I questioned the value, but the more I listen to it, the more detailed and amazing it sounds, especially with media off the built in hdd;> HUD - heads up display - very close to one of my favourite features. In addition to speed, next turn with required lane; next song/station; incoming phone call; warnings/alerts such as traffic or near freezing temps and more, are displayed here. Even find myself having to consciously think about looking at the speedometer when driving any other car like my wife's Lexus;> Navigation Pro with ARTTI services - the navigation is nice and the traffic warnings work well - was just alerted the other day with a triangle warning on the screen as well as in the HUD about a car fire on the highway;> comfort seats - absolutely amazing! at first, they look very similar to what was in the car you show, however, a couple of immediate differences:--------- electrically extendable thigh support;--------- electrically adjustable headrest height positioning;--------- the part I love the most, mid height seat back articulation - not only does the entire seat back recline and come forward, but you can also adjust the top half of the seat to recline or come forward - cradling the shoulders just that much nicer - really puts all other seats to shame;> adaptive LED headlights - amazing!;Couple of nice touches:> when programming a destination in the nav, if you have enough fuel in the tank, a white dot appears on the fuel remaining display below the speedometer, indicating how much fuel will be needed for the trip, kinda neat...;> the center vents below the nav screen have a nice temp adjust wheel that lets you have the car at one temp, but say you wanted cooler air on your face, dial towards blue...;> call concierge from car and they can send nav instructions directly to the car. I've used this when the nav can't find something because the address doesn't jive - the concierge can search it online and upload to my car which automatically fires up the nav and sends me on my way;> picture at destination - enter a destination and click to see google street view of that spot - have amazed friends that recently moved to Elliot Lake, ON and I was able to show them their house from in the car;> online search from idrive - want to find a steakhouse near you? Search from the car and read Yelp! reviews. Call the place or accept as destination directly from the main display;> the above car data/communications items are all operational with a subscription through BMW (think I paid $200DCN for the year) and works throughout Canada/USA with no additional roaming charges - ie: my mobile phone is not required for that to work;> carbon black exterior paint is amazing - you need to see it in different types of light. car can look blue, black or even purple! depending on the light and angle you are looking at it from. I even had to question my sales guy as to whether or not it was the same car when I went back for the 2nd test drive;I'm pretty sure I'm missing some other stuff, and there is stuff that my car doesn't have:> rear seat climate control - mine has heated seats, but not the climate control;> adaptive cruise control - have it on the Lexus and kind of miss it, but I can get by with the standard config;> night vision - drove a 7 with this and just don't think it's implemented the way I would like to see it (ie: takes over the nav screen when active, meaning that you need to take focus off the road to view and nothing else can be on the screen when that is functioning);> probably something else I'm missing....All in all, it is a fun car to drive - a bit heavy steering and more luxury than sport, but I drive 50,000miles (80,000 km as I'm in Canada) per year. The fuel economy is great and I have seen an average of 6.8 l/100km (34.6USmpg) during my regular commute (120km (75 miles) each way at about 125 km/h (78 mph) - I have seen a best of 6.1 l/100km (38.6USmpg) during a recent trip to NYC. I'm thinking I can easily break into the 5's with summer fuel and driving. Now, for the reliability, glad your friend's car has been trouble free - largely... So far, I've had pre and post cat sensors go ($1000 CDN each) due to "incorrect exhaust fluid - restart not possible in 200 miles" when we were leaving NYC. Quite the ordeal but we were able to drive the car all the way back to Kitchener, Ontario, Canada and leave it with my dealer to sort out. If I would have shut the car down when the counter got to 0 (somewhere around Binghamton, NY), we would not have been able to restart the car. Lucky for me, the car is under CPO warranty until 160,000kms (100,000 miles). They also replaced the low pressure fuel pump that is under the rear seat when my car was in as it was "noisy", according to the mechanic.I received the service history on my car prior to my ownership and this is what it shows:- one of the cat sensors was already replaced;- both front cameras and cables have been replaced;- other minor issues (unfortunately don't have the paperwork with me);All in all, a fun car that I'm hoping will serve me well for a number of years.
Albert Krusvar wow sounds like you are really getting a lot of mileage out of it. It’s a great car. By well equipped I guess I meant in terms of what I care for-the m-sport package and the Nappa leather are pretty big upgrades over the base 535d. This car retailed for $68k USD. But you’re right there is more that could’ve been added in terms of technology. I’m really looking forward to the 540d which is supposed to come out sometime in 2018 I believe.
Great post.I bought a 14 5d with 38k about 4 months ago . No problems so far with a service due @ 43k miles . Love the car. When I bring it in I will discuss options with them regarding CPO.
I wanted to read the comment, but was not courageous enough...LOL
Unavoidable particulate filter replacement? You can take off all the emissions garbage tune it for $2500. Get 40+ more horsepower, better fuel efficiency, no more carbon build up (which is probably why the mileage is low) and more torque!!!!
Hi, do you know of a garage specializing in 335d or 535d tuning? I think that this may be my next bmw. I have 2 now: 325xi wagon manual and 128i m sport manual. I hear that the epa forced bmw to have a flap on this car that ostensibly shuts and forces diesel soot back into the engine manifold-forcing carbon build up.
@@Bmwguy2011 where do you live?
that sounds great. How difficult is it to put the emissions garbage back in for smog inspection
who t f needs DPF anyway :)
This is 530D
Tuhday is not a word
No M sport seats?
this was one of the first 535ds to arrive in the US in 2013 (2014 model year) so there wasn't much to choose from but these nappa leather seats are very nice on long trips
comfort seats are the best
Way underpowered compared to the uk version which had over 300bhp for the same model.
I think it's because of all the stuff we do to these cars here to pass emissions testing. The EPA is extremely strict on diesels here.
For the US its actually the 530d and not the 535d that you get there or us here in South Africa. I first found it weird why the exhaust tips were together as compared to the models here were you have each tip on each side. Also, it doesn't have standard stuff like electric blinds plus paddle shifts which are standard on my 530d for this market.
Thats why Audi and VW failed on their TDI
ways to get it there and beyond no problem
You should speak louder. I dont hear very well. Already.
Other than $4000 ro replace the particle filter the BMW has held out well.....LOL .....Wow I have a 535d and would never pay for this especially at the dealers....youve been ripped off
In uk you can replace them at a indie for half the price , or you can take it out for 400 pounds , don’t no why he paid 4000

In Macedonia for 50-80 € delite and remove dpf
Dumb boi could of just done a full delete. You don’t need it
@@user-sw4go6vc5s Phew, that's a relief to hear
Diesel exhaust fluid?!?! 🤔🤣🤣🤣
Was going to get this car but man that diesel filter at 4K. Thank you for that info.
It's an incredible car but that DPF is going to be the case with any modern diesel. I own a diesel X5 and only have 53k miles on it so far, but I know once I get around 120k, that filter is going to need to be replaced. I think it ends up being worth it for the fuel economy and performance you get with a diesel. But it's something to be aware of especially if you happen to be buying a used one with higher mileage. Happy to help with the decision; thanks for watching!
Me too now idk. 4K god damn
I call autozone for that part it’s like 27$
David Last LOL maybe the guy gave you a price for an engine air filter! you might be able to get the filter itself for $2,700. Not including the labor. I just looked on AutoZone’s website and every new DPF is at least $2,000 and it looks like most or all of them are for heavy duty trucks. They also have some remanufactured DPFs for less but I don’t know what the risk is of using one of those. But I’m not sure if any of the ones AZ sells would work in a BMW diesel.
Damn I really wanted to get one but that Maintenance fee is crazy
Shame US 535d is just a 530d
I have a 2014 535d xdrive I bought from Ottos BMW in West Chester PA in December 2017 with CPO, and the rear drive flex joint has failed. I took delivery with 50k miles, and now 6 months later 7k miles later it needs replacement all of a sudden... screw BMW and Ottos. Not covered by CPO, it's a wear part. That is BS. Let's see if BMW USA does anything. Shameful excuse for a car.
Seats nice
535 d has 313 ps /hp
Very nice car. But too bad it doesn't come in a manaul like the pre-LCI 530d in Europe. The 8-speed automatic in these cars is very good, but the manual is so much better and shifts almost as fast (with a decent driver of course).
Really now, manual of such a big car? Laughable
Auto is much more reliable then these newer manual cars, much faster no matter who’s driving and this is a cruising car not a sports car so manual is a waste of refinement.
I think it's "Awesome"
Time for TIMING Chain Change!
They don't need changing, in for the lifespan of the car.
Jody Friend N57 engine its a must to change after 100k !! It happend to my friend and it happend to the car i own now !! ZF8 Gearbox Bmw Says Life time Oil When in reality nothing is life time Must change Gearbox oil as Well as Differential oil etc...
The timing chain is at the back of the engine and is not a serviceable part. The engine needs to be removed to change the chain if it fails. If the chain fails while in use it's a new engine. I had 3lt 530d and it done 130,000 miles with no issues at all I bought it with 63,000 on the clock.
Jody Friend i dont know If you search on internet just type in bmw n57 timing chain... But on the car i own the previous owner had timing chain Broke And had to buy new engine at 133km My friend was lucky He had timing chain noise And got it changed it was loose But it might just been Their unluck ,,, like some say e92 m3 Rod Bearing is just a Myth as it only affects a Small amount off engines But some say its A Must at 100k
I think we are talking about two different issues. 1) the timing chain is made for the life of the engine. The end.....Look it up. 2) Bmw has had issues with timing chain failures on the 2lt D (e90/91 e60/61) and has changed and modified the tentioners for the timing chain from 2011 onwards. Bmw never took responsibility for the design failure as it only effected 1 in 500 cars with this engine. Look it up.
starts talking...exit video
It’s 313 hp…
This is Not 535d , 530 d
You don't have to say 535D everytime you say something about the car dude. We know what your reviewing due to the title lol
4k in repairs...not nice lol
This is a 530d
Do not leave your day job, you are apparently not destined to ever be good at this review thing !!
I'm pretty sure it's a 4 cylinder turbo
3.0 Six-cylinder twin-turbo In Europe there's a M550d which is the same engine but tri-turbo. The new one has quad-turbos. 😉
I drive 50000miles a year,do you think this 535d can last 300000miles😂
Yeah. Serviced correctly no reason for it to fail
That´s not a 535d, thats a 530d. First, you have the exauste and second 313hp in a 353d and 245hp for a 530d. You should learn...
It literally says 535d on the back (not sure how you missed that) and the US-spec 535d is the same as the Euro-spec 530d. There is no 530d in North America where this was filmed.
You should learn..... the US have different emission testing compared to here in the U.K.. that IS a 535d in the USA market but here in the U.K. it’s a 330d
Pretty good info but it’s cringy to watch you romp over and over on someone else’s awd car from corners... especially in a high torque car like that. The last 2 minutes of the video let me know what I wanted to know, the rest was just you in gym wear making faces as you romp on someone else’s car
1st of all this ain't the 535d you're a liar. It's the 530d the 535d has 306 bhp not 255bhp and the 0-60 time is around 5.5 seconds not 5.9 seconds.
USA badges it as 535d. That’s the only version available in America. USA 535d = UK 530d
