2011 BMW 535i 6-Speed

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE 

The 2011 BMW 535i marked a significant chapter in the evolution of BMW’s executive sport sedan. Part of the sixth-generation 5 Series (F10), introduced in 2010, the 535i combined luxury, technology, and performance in a refined package. It featured BMW’s N55 3.0L inline-six engine with a single twin-scroll turbocharger, producing 300 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque, replacing the previous twin-turbo N54. What made the 2011 535i particularly special was the rare availability of a 6-speed manual transmission in North America.

The F10 generation introduced advanced technology such as iDrive with a larger display, adaptive drive systems, and enhanced safety features, while growing in size and comfort compared to its predecessor. This example is finished in Titanium Silver over Dakota Gray leather upholstery, and the seller reports regular service at BMW of Turnersville Blackwood and European specialty shops during their 12-year ownership including recent replacement of both low- and high-pressure fuel pumps.

This three-pedal 2011 BMW 535i is now offered at no reserve with a CARFAX vehicle history report, factory manuals, and a clean New Jersey title in the seller’s name.

Additional Information 

From the seller, “Throughout my 12 years of ownership I have loved driving this car. My favorite of the 5 BMWs I have owned over the years, and it carried me on a daily commute of over 80 miles roundtrip.  As I am now retired, it is time to part with it and entrust it to the next enthusiast.”
