The good: The 2008 BMW 535i drives like a dream, getting power from its brilliantly engineered, twin-turbo, 6-cylinder engine. The integration of live traffic with the car's navigation system is the finest we've seen; its hands-free cell phone system is top notch; and the audio quality from its premium sound system is excellent.
The bad: The stereo doesn't show ID3 tag information from MP3 tracks. Destination entry on the navigation system isn't as easy as it could be, and it doesn't default to a map display.
The bottom line: The 2008 BMW 535i is a really exceptional car, offering a great driving experience and an impressive array of electronics in the cabin. From its shifter to its live traffic system, its innovative features should make any techie drool.
