$6,450Description
Finished in sophisticated Glacier Silver Metallic over Black Dakota Leather, this 535i has 99,613 miles and combines BMW's legendary straight-six architecture with an 8-speed Steptronic automatic transmission, full-time xDrive all-wheel drive, double-wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear suspension.
Even better, the original owner didn't stop at the standard equipment.
This example was ordered with the $950 Cold Weather Package, $1,800 Driver Assistance Package, $1,500 Premium Package, and optional Glacier Silver Metallic paint—bringing its original retail price to an impressive $63,695.
This isn't simply a luxury sedan.
It's a properly optioned xDrive 535i from an era when BMW's straight-six 5 Series was still the benchmark.
BMW Straight-Six Power
Under the hood is one of the defining ingredients of the 535i:
BMW's Straight-6 Engine.
The original equipment sheet confirms the straight-six configuration paired with BMW's 8-speed Steptronic automatic transmission.
There is something inherently special about a BMW inline-six.
The architecture is known for its smoothness, refinement and linear character—and in a 5 Series, it perfectly matches the car's mission.
It can quietly carry you through traffic.
Settle into an effortless highway cruise.
And when the road opens?
The 535i reminds you that the person behind the steering wheel was never an afterthought.
8-Speed Steptronic Automatic
Backing the straight-six is BMW's:
8-Speed Automatic with Steptronic.
Eight forward ratios give the drivetrain the flexibility to provide responsive gearing when accelerating while maintaining relaxed engine speeds when cruising.
That's important in a car like the 535i because it has two jobs.
Luxury sedan when you need one.
Driver's car when you want one.
And the Steptronic transmission is an important part of allowing it to transition between those personalities.
xDrive Full-Time All-Wheel Drive
This isn't the rear-wheel-drive 535i.
It's xDrive.
The factory mechanical specification confirms full-time all-wheel drive, paired with a 3.08 axle ratio.
For a powerful luxury sedan in the Pacific Northwest, that combination makes enormous sense.
Rain-soaked pavement.
Cold mornings.
Mountain passes.
Changing weather.
You don't have to put the BMW away simply because conditions aren't perfect.
The straight-six provides the performance.
xDrive helps make that performance usable year-round.
Double-Wishbone Front Suspension
The sophistication of the 535i goes far beyond its engine.
Underneath is a:
Double-Wishbone Front Suspension
paired with a:
Multi-Link Rear Suspension.
The chassis also incorporates:
- Coil Springs
- Gas-Pressurized Shock Absorbers
- Front & Rear Anti-Roll Bars
- Electric Speed-Sensing Power Steering
- Four-Wheel Disc Brakes
- Front & Rear Vented Brake Discs
This is where BMW's engineering philosophy becomes apparent.
The 535i wasn't built simply to isolate you from the road.
It was engineered to communicate with it.
Four-Wheel Vented Disc Brakes
BMW backed up the 535i's performance with a substantial braking system featuring:
- Four-Wheel Disc Brakes
- Four-Wheel ABS
- Front Vented Discs
- Rear Vented Discs
- Brake Assist
- Hill Descent Control
- Hill Hold Control
- Electric Parking Brake
Power is only one component of a great sport sedan.
The ability to confidently control that power is what makes the entire package feel complete.
$1,800 Driver Assistance Package
This particular 535i becomes significantly more desirable when you look at its factory options.
The original owner spent $1,800 on the:
Driver Assistance Package
which includes:
- Head-Up Display
- Rear View Camera
- Park Distance Control
- Instrument Cluster with Extended Contents
That's a fantastic collection of technology in a 5 Series because it adds convenience without taking the driver's focus away from the road.
And the star of the package?
The Head-Up Display.
Head-Up Display
Once you've lived with a proper Head-Up Display, it's difficult to go backward.
Rather than constantly looking down toward the instrument cluster, key information can be projected into the driver's forward field of vision.
In a performance-oriented luxury sedan, it makes perfect sense.
Your hands remain on the wheel.
Your attention remains forward.
The technology serves the driving experience instead of distracting from it.
And remember—this was part of a substantial $1,800 factory package when new.
Rear View Camera Park Distance Control
The Driver Assistance Package also gives this 535i both:
Rear View Camera
Park Distance Control
The combination adds another layer of awareness when maneuvering the 5 Series into garages, parking spaces or tighter urban environments.
They're practical features.
But they're also exactly the type of equipment you want when you're trying to protect that beautiful Glacier Silver bodywork.
$950 Cold Weather Package
If you're going to own an xDrive BMW in Washington, this is the package you want:
Cold Weather Package – $950
It adds:
- Heated Front Seats
- Heated Rear Seats
- Heated Steering Wheel
- Retractable Headlight Washers
This isn't simply a heated-seat package.
BMW heated the front seats.
BMW heated the rear seats.
BMW heated the steering wheel.
It's the kind of equipment that makes you appreciate the car even more when the temperature drops.
Heated Front AND Rear Seats
Passengers weren't forgotten.
The Cold Weather Package gives you heated seating in both rows.
That's a surprisingly luxurious feature even by modern standards.
Front passengers get warmth.
Rear passengers get warmth.
And the driver gets a heated steering wheel.
So on a cold morning, everyone settles in—
and then xDrive takes care of the weather underneath you.
Heated Steering Wheel
The factory heated steering wheel may sound like a small feature until the first freezing morning.
Then suddenly it becomes one of your favorite options on the car.
No gloves.
No ice-cold leather.
Just a warm steering wheel in your hands, heated seat beneath you and a straight-six BMW waiting ahead of you.
Luxury doesn't always have to be extravagant. Sometimes it's simply thoughtful.
$1,500 Premium Package
The third major option is the:
Premium Package – $1,500
which includes:
- Power Tailgate
- Comfort Access Keyless Entry
- Satellite Radio
- 1-Year Satellite Radio Subscription When New
Again, these aren't gimmicks.
They're features that make the car more enjoyable every single day.
Comfort Access Keyless Entry
The Premium Package's Comfort Access system adds another level of everyday convenience.
Walk up to the car.
Get in.
Start your drive.
No need to turn the ownership experience into a ceremony every time you make a grocery run.
It's one of those premium features that quietly disappears into your routine—
until you drive a car without it.
Power Tailgate
The Premium Package also adds a power tailgate, giving the 535i additional convenience when loading the trunk.
And that's one of the strengths of a 5 Series sedan.
It can look elegant pulling up to dinner.
Feel composed during a business commute.
Become entertaining when the road begins to curve.
And still handle the ordinary errands of everyday life.
Integrated Navigation with Voice Activation
This 535i is also equipped with an Integrated Navigation System with Voice Activation.
The technology suite also includes:
- Real-Time Traffic Display
- Bluetooth Wireless Connectivity
- Streaming Audio
- Smart Device Integration
- Driver Information Center
- 10-Speaker Audio System
- Graphic Equalizer
- Steering-Wheel Cruise Controls
It's a substantial technology package for its era—and unlike many newer vehicles, the interior still maintains the classic BMW focus on the driver.
10-Speaker Audio System
The factory entertainment system includes 10 speakers, streaming audio, Bluetooth connectivity and a graphic equalizer.
It's perfect for settling into a long highway trip.
Although this particular BMW gives you another soundtrack when you're in the mood:
The smooth mechanical note of a straight-six working its way through the gears.
Glacier Silver Metallic – $550
Then there's the exterior.
Glacier Silver Metallic.
The original buyer paid an additional $550 for this paint.
It's one of those colors that suits the 5 Series beautifully.
Sophisticated without disappearing.
Sporty without trying too hard.
And timeless enough that the car still carries presence years after leaving the showroom.
Against the chrome window trim and traditional BMW kidney grille, Glacier Silver gives the 535i exactly the kind of understated European elegance this sedan deserves.
Black Dakota Leather
Inside is the perfect counterpart:
Black Dakota Leather.
The cabin specification also includes:
- Lumbar Support
- Power Tilt/Telescoping Steering Column
- Auto-Dimming Rearview Mirror
- Leather/Metal-Look Gear Selector
- Front & Rear Map Lighting
- Driver Information Center
- Four 12V Power Outlets
- Full Floor Console
- Carpeted Floor Mats
- Garage Door Transmitter
- Cruise Control
It's clean.
Purposeful.
Comfortable.
And unmistakably BMW.
Power Glass Sunroof
Above you is an express open/close sliding and tilting glass sunroof with a power sunshade.
Open it on a clear afternoon and the Black Dakota Leather cabin immediately feels brighter.
There's something about a sunroof, a beautiful road and a straight-six BMW that encourages you to ignore the most direct route home.
Adaptive HID Headlights
The exterior lighting technology is particularly impressive.
This 535i features:
- High-Intensity Projector Headlights
- Auto On/Off
- Auto-Leveling
- Directionally Adaptive Headlights
- Cornering Lights
- Front Fog Lamps
- LED Brake Lights
- Perimeter/Approach Lighting
The directionally adaptive lighting is especially noteworthy because it allows the headlights to better follow the direction of travel through turns.
It's another example of technology being used for a practical purpose rather than simply filling a specification sheet.
Rain-Sensing Wipers with Heated Jets
And because this is a BMW clearly configured for all-season use, it also includes:
Rain-Sensing Variable Intermittent Wipers with Heated Jets.
Add the Cold Weather Package, xDrive and heated mirrors, and this becomes an exceptionally well-specified sedan for Pacific Northwest driving.
Heated, Power-Folding Auto-Dimming Mirrors
The exterior mirrors aren't basic either.
They're:
- Power Adjustable
- Heated
- Power Folding
- Auto-Dimming
- Integrated Turn Signals
Again, individually these may seem like small features.
Together?
They create the sense that somebody thought about the details.
Dual Stainless-Steel Exhaust
Underneath is a dual stainless-steel exhaust system with chrome tailpipe finishers.
It gives the rear of the 535i a subtle visual reminder that this isn't merely a luxury cruiser.
There's a straight-six drivetrain ahead of it.
And when you ask the car for more, it's ready.
20 City / 29 Highway MPG
The original equipment sheet lists factory fuel economy at:
20 MPG City
29 MPG Highway
That 29-MPG highway rating speaks to the remarkable breadth of the 535i's personality.
Full-time AWD.
Straight-six power.
A large luxury sedan.
Yet capable of settling into an efficient highway cruise when you're simply covering miles.
$63,695 Original Retail Price
The original configuration tells you just how well this car was equipped:
Base MSRP: $57,900
Glacier Silver Metallic: $550
Black Dakota Leather: $0
Cold Weather Package: $950
Driver Assistance Package: $1,800
Premium Package: $1,500
Original Shipping Charge: $995
Original Retail Price: $63,695
That's $4,800 in factory paint and package options before destination.
And importantly, the money went toward equipment you actually want:
Cold Weather.
Driver Assistance.
Premium Package.
Head-Up Display.
Heated Front & Rear Seats.
Heated Steering Wheel.
Comfort Access.
Rear Camera.
Park Distance Control.
This wasn't ordered to simply sit on a showroom floor.
It was ordered to be driven.
When the 5 Series Still Felt Like a Driver's Car
There's a reason enthusiasts continue to appreciate this generation of BMW.
The recipe was beautifully straightforward.
Straight-six engine.
8-speed Steptronic.
xDrive AWD.
Double-wishbone front suspension.
Multi-link rear suspension.
Four-wheel vented disc brakes.
Then BMW wrapped all of that engineering in a quiet leather-lined executive sedan.
That's what made the 5 Series special.
It didn't force you to announce that you drove a performance-oriented car.
You simply knew every time you got behind the wheel.
Glacier Silver. Black Dakota Leather. xDrive. 99,613 Miles.
With 99,613 miles, beautiful Glacier Silver Metallic, Black Dakota Leather, BMW straight-six power, an 8-speed Steptronic automatic, full-time xDrive all-wheel drive, Cold Weather Package, Driver Assistance Package, Premium Package, Head-Up Display, Rear View Camera, Park Distance Control, Navigation, heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel, Comfort Access, power tailgate, power glass sunroof, adaptive HID lighting, rain-sensing wipers, power-folding heated mirrors, sophisticated double-wishbone/multi-link suspension and an original retail price of $63,695, this 2015 BMW 535i xDrive is an exceptionally compelling example of BMW's classic executive sport sedan formula.
