The 535i would be way quicker but as others mentioned, you gotta drive it to see for yourself.

Yep. I just picked up a loaner for my wife, a 2-series coupe. The power is anemic, the gearing in Drive seems to lug the engine, the start stop is clunky, and I really dislike the rotating map in the middle of the dash display in front of the driver (I realize it can be turned off), but not as much as I really dislike the giant screen in the middle for everything else. At least there was a volume/mute button still, but it makes me think I am done with BMWs after the ten I have owned. Maybe if I ever get rid of my 540xi I wil get a used 550xi, but probably pre-LCI.--Bob
