The 535d is a BMW through and through. Current bonehead car culture mandates no body lean or softness whatsoever in suspension set-up. I can tell you my 1966 912, my 1991 318is, and numerous other extremely well handling cars had a supple suspension AND great handling.

The only problem I see on line is the high pressure fuel pump. Most people believe the pump fails because there is water in the fuel. BMW has extended the warranty to 100k/10years . However, BMW's in general requires more maintenance and will have more small problems compared to Japanese n6flRt.
