Video – 2011 BMW 535i vs. 2010 Audi A6 3.0T Quattro, 2011 Infiniti M37

Car and Driver gives us a comparison between the 2011 BMW 535i against Audi’s A6 3.0T and Infiniti’s M37 model. All previous reviews have all resulted in favor of BMW, but this time, BMW just comes in third. The main issue they pointed out was the lack of steering feel. According to Car and Driver, the new electric power assist makes the steering heavier and uncommunicative which is difficult on damp roads. However, the 2011 BMW 535i still gained much praise:

“Otherwise, there was much here to admire. The brake pedal proved a paradigm of linearity and predictability, scoring a perfect 10. The tractable single-turbo inline-six evinced no lag and was as vibrationless and silky as any of BMW’s reciprocating devices. (Funny that the engine cover is emblazoned with the words “Twin Power Turbo.”) And the 535i was quickest to 60 mph and in its 50-to-70-mph passing potential.”
