BMW 535i (F10) - A fast drive on the German Autobahn

[@alanrad5]

4000 revs at 260 - amazing!!!

[@mark.m2163]

I love how super stable it it at top speed , all you hear is the wind ..lol

[@richieasian]

Many BMWs in America start to have engine problems because many drivers do not "exercise" their engines.. BMWs are meant to be driven and pushed like this! When they are given to Americans to drive at 100 kph and below 3,000 RPM every day, a lot of carbon deposits build up in the engine and slowly kills it. This is why I try to rev my car up to 6,000 RPM at least once a week when it's all warmed up to keep it running like it should

[@MrJiri84]

+lovin f30 thats true,but the another thing is their shitty gas,the highest octane rate is 93,that i dont put even in my grandmas toyota corolla.

[@richieasian]

MrJiri84 the scale/units are different! it's like how we use miles and everyone else uses kilometers. our 93 octane is not the same as your 93 octane. however, our only reliable fuel brands are Shell, Exxon, and Chevron because there is no government standard for additives in american gasoline

[@ZAINKHAN-ii6gy]

I agree with u I do the same thing with my gti mk7. the truth is living in america for the past 3 years now Americans dont know how to do drive simple. especially those with luxury class cars.

[@wqbb287]

+lovin f30 agreed man!

[@Tomi7653Psn]

i live in belgium,my dad have a 520d e60 and he floors 2-3 times a week to like 4,500 rpms,no deposit build up at all

[@KoreanFalcon93]

The 530d is great and all if you want a quick and semi-economical solution. If you can afford it, get the 535i. The engine is just amazing. It's always exciting and just puts a smile on your face. The diesel just doesn't do that for me. Even in my X5 xDrive 35i Premium, it's bloody awesome (plus the exhaust note is PERFECT).

[@Silverfury1]

Awesome ride,perfect car,perfect road,fair play in trafic,the BMW rules.Keep it going.

[@Pete762]

3:16 oh my !!that downshift!!

[@wickensgames]

+needraintodrift Gotta love that kickdown.

[@Pete762]

Wickens yeah b oth iline6 and zf8 gearbox are so smooth

[@hughfh]

Thank you for keeping the radio off!! The engine sound and road noise (not much even at high speed) is all I want to hear in videos like these.

[@mericdrives]

Look at the navigation map, it looks like the airplane's one :D Going through the towns in a few seconds =)

[@carfanatic7559]

I love this 6 cylinder sound

[@denilssonking8685]

Gorgeous car. Worth to the last cent. Go through 200 km in an hour is still a dream in Romania

[@maxthemaltesedog3597]

Love this car . I currently have a e39 540i and this is my next vehicle. The best all round 5 series . The 535i pretty much everything the e39 was and better I would say .

[@peteacher52]

Good, but spoiled by the position of the rear view mirror.

[@bilalahmed2123]

I love BMW’s, especially the N55 engine !

[@SuperRuss52]

Did you notice how fast the Nav map was moving downward, he was making up some time

[@MrJiri84]

cruising 250kph means only 4k rpm i like it

[@TQ255]

What a nice high speed cruiser. Sehr schön.

[@kelvinkhq1804]

This car is considered very stable!

[@MrMlbfan6]

Like that gtr pic

[@Parni1989]

Tolles Video. Super Kameraposition - gerne weiter so!

[@magnumporsche]

Hahahahaha is so. Ach lass die deine Videos sind Hammer. Mach weiter bitte es ist sehr Unterhaltsam dir beim fahren von schönen und neuen Autos zuzusehen.

[@Kayvoyager]

Bad camera position. Put camera in a location which offer full perspective on the road in front too.

[@scribbleHunter]

Hi there I liked the video. The ride felt really stable and safe. I was extra amused by that the camera catched the driving mirror and things behind the car. Funny how the cars you overtake just fade away from you ;) Quite a speed difference here. Best Regards DP

[@DaPony1736]

3:16

[@IMANNO80]

So nice, great driver

[@muratkusan4548]

I think you'll find your mistaken. The Bmw 5 series come with an 8 speed ZF 8HP. Single clutch. Only the M5 has a dual clutch transmission.

[@justinc1790]

Wrong

[@volf4o]

240 km/h at 4k rpm (y)

[@1300BMWKS]

Wie mein 535i F11. Goes great and comfortable. The best car I have ever own. And I have owned between 95 and and a 100 cars from Alfa to VW lol.

[@BulgarianAviation767]

oh, believe me, if the guy was actually a jet pilot he would be as 10 times better as you could ever hope to be! :) and driving at the limit is not the smartest thing in most occasions. :] happy driving!

[@rotknolligerGeierzinken]

Rasten die Blinkerhelbel bei den neueren Modellen nicht mehr ein oder ist das BMW spezifisch? gute Videos & danke fürs Hochladen Gruss

[@patfromozZ]

Hi Laser frankie, I knoticed you have tested the 535i as well as the new a6 3.0tdi......If you were spending your money which of these 2 would you pick and why? Thanks in advance, Pat.

[@Honza8778]

Great video! Got one question: Which engine would you choose, if you thought of byuing BMW 5series? And why? And if you chose any other model than 535i or 535d, would you spend 2200 Euros on 8-speed-automatic gearbox? And again why? Thank you so much for the answer!

[@almahde3653]

ich liebe 535I

[@OzzymanNL]

i wanna give you a hand :) respect for those bmw drivers like this one

[@damieg82]

my guess would be the tires. Either one or more were under-inflated, or perhaps damaged. BMWs use run-flat tires which have very stiff sidewalls. It's great when there's a puncture, but big potholes are its worst enemy. The lack of flex means the sidewall can get warped if you hit a bad pothole, thereby ruining the tire. There might not be any visible signs, but you feel it when you drive, especially at high speed. If you haven't already, get the tires checked

[@xCobi]

der neue 5er ist einfach Wunderschön

[@irafael8080]

Liked the video. Loved the Nav Screen . Is the 3series more reliable than 5series or should i get a tesla?

[@konstantinosroumeliotis7627]

Fantastic, many thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work.

[@TheCrankshaftRotator]

Bei der Getriebeübersetzung ist noch deutlich Luft nach oben - so hat z.B. ein Chrysler 300 C 3.6 (305 PS), übrigens mit dem gleichen 8 - Stufen - Getriebe (von ZF) bei 240 km/h nur knapp über 3000 U/min. und nicht fast 4000, wie hier, und der Motor hat im Gegensatz zu jenem des 535i F10 keine Turboaufladung.

[@xxolympigon3373]

Woher weißt du das er im 8. Gang war... Im Sport Modus bleibt das Auto oft im 7. Gang ;)

[@closestchunk]

I think the wind noise has more to do with the camera mounting than what the driver would actually hear.

[@Raybob95]

You realize the gauge measures the temperature of the coolant not the oil right? And it was 3/4 of the way to where it should be.

[@LimpBizkitDrummer]

ich habs mal 39 Minuten ausgehalten mit einem BMW 325d E92:-) Und zwar von Hannover bis nach Hamburg.. war nachts um 3 und völlig leer, aber ich rate jedem davon ab so lange so schnell zu fahren, das ist gefährlich!

[@KnirpsBenedikt1]

Erstmal danke fürs hochladen. aber nun zu meiner Frage, Ist das das Navigationssystem professional ? Danke schon im vorraus.

[@MCPRIESTfromWHV]

Wusst ich's doch, dass mir die Umgebung bekannt vorkommt... Viele Grüße an die Heimat :)

[@TuddecBMW]

Do you recommend a 530d xDrive Sedan for a family with 2 kids? One is 8 and the other one is 13. I thought it was interesting because the trunk is pretty big, and it's really economical, silent & comfortable. It would be good for long journeys. PS: We have a 2006 X5 3.0d currently. Keep going with the videos, they're awesome.

[@andylie7699]

Yeah, thats a great choice

[@KnightSRB]

@Tuddec so tell me now about your experience with 530d xDrive ?

[@hajohehe]

it steers very smooth. although it is relatively heavy for my taste. it feels very light on its toe.

[@1996zeeshan]

forr the long term go for the 535d. you will make saving which will repay you in time and they are quicker on acceleration than the 528i as well as more economical.

[@sjawahar2001]

Remember Speed thrills but it kills!!!.

[@sosuperfranky]

how come so many of us are still alive then? xD

[@sjawahar2001]

sosuperfranky because they are dead while you are still alive...if you do this..your chances of being one of them is high! :)

[@unwokesnake]

Most car accidents occur because of closing up to much. The faster you are, the more you need to hold the gap. There is no problem with driving fast, but do in it a responsible way.

[@94kluge]

Schönes Video! Aber ich hab da mal eine Frage: Da du ja auch einen 335i mit Doppelkupplungsgetriebe gefahren bist hast du ja nun einen direkten Vergleich zu der 8-Gang- Automatik. Was ist dein Favorit? Nach meinem Empfinden von den Videos nehmen sie sich nicht all zu viel.

[@mirrey999]

Doch ist er. Selbst wenn der andere ausschert zum Überholen ohne Blinker wie laserfrankie hier schreibt hat er dennoch sorge zu tragen das er den Sicherheitsabstand von ~40m hält. Dies wäre in diesem Fall auch problemlos möglich gewesen. Erstens durch stärkeres Bremsen (das war jetzt nicht kurz vor der Vollbremsung) Zweitens fährt er im Abstand von 10m mit selber Geschwindigkeit hinter ihm her, weiter abbremsen wäre möglich.

[@lucabaly]

what a beautiful car :) what do you prefer, automatic or manual transmission ?

[@StreetKingAttax]

Hallo, hast du die Strt Stopp nicht wegcodiert ist echt scheisse für den Motor nach so ner Fahrt den Motor direkt abzustellen. lg

[@ResoH7]

ok, question ..... at 4:01-4:05, why does the rpm drop, yet the speed is constant? Legit answer please, don't care for your guesses :)

[@hansen4]

YOU CAN'T SEE A THING BECAUSE OF THE MIRROR, and what a loud wind noise.

[@andylie7699]

Expect that at 200+ kmh

[@samoahbay]

nice style of video report! great video!

[@ThenameisOskar]

@Laserfrankie you should try the 535d =P that 1 has almost same amount as ps as this 535i and it has more torque

[@PipeStraussdelarosa]

Amazing video, amazing car!

[@PsyPanic70]

hier sieht man mal wieder was du für ein super autofahrer bist. Manchmal muss man aufs Gas drücken, vorallem bei so einem Auto ;D Du hälst dich immer an den Abstand, gefährdest deine Mitmenschen nicht, hast aber trotzdem Spaß. Leider kommt das vorallem in deutschland seeeehr selten vor :P

[@Laserfrankie]

Aha und woher nimmst du diese Weisheit?

[@potti15]

wie ist so bei zügiger fahrweise auf der AB dein verbrauch? und wie ist er in der stadt? hast du da paar werte für mich? lg

[@UnSaintLike]

Hey, do you find that the steering lacks feedback compared to the E60?

[@BongoClub]

BMW 535i is great car with great engine, but 530d xDrive is my choice.

[@nfsracer67]

wie fandest du das fahrwerk? eher sportlich oder komfortabel?

[@damieg82]

I highly doubt your Proton can reach 240... 200 is a stretch and you'll need miles of highway to get up to that speed. Furthermore, BMWs are limited to 250, hence the speedo is only numbered to 260. If you remove the limiter it will go much faster, except the speedo will max out at 260 despite travelling at a higher speed. Cars fitted with the heads-up display will show the true speed although the rotary speedo stopped at 260

[@practicallyascientist9971]

I love how there's no one in your way, in dubai, you try to drive fast but there always must be a woman in front of you that would never move the fuck out of your way no matter how close you stick to her and how many times you flash per sec holy fuck.

[@MrMlbfan6]

If that here in nyc they would shoot at u

[@practicallyascientist9971]

I wish I could shoot people here, but this is a town where no one, literally no one has a weapon :D

[@MrMlbfan6]

Where u lived at??

[@practicallyascientist9971]

uae/dubai

[@MrMlbfan6]

I thought nyc

[@stalpinho]

Hast du schon einmal das Head Up Display von BMW oder Audi ausprobiert? Interessiert mich vor allem bei Tageslicht.

[@BodomChild88]

muss das geil sein dieses Auto in der Garage zu haben :D

[@ArtyomMe]

Are autobahns normally this straight? Want to come to Germany to drive on it. Just bought 535d, btw.

[@mosasako4679]

Yes, thats why its legal to drive 300+ there because its not very dangerous if the line is free

[@michaporeda6149]

Germans highways are one of better(if not the best) highways in Europe.

[@unwokesnake]

German Autobahn is overfilled most of the time. You have a lot of transit traffic and over the day, there are only a few spots where you can go fast.

[@Chrishos1]

hey laserfrankie, macht echt spaß deine videos anzuschauen... :) nur brauchst du das navi um immer heimzufinden?! ansonsten, könnte man da vllt auch andere infos, wie vom bordcomputer einblenden lassen? danke ;)

[@krisevan1337]

Die Start-Stop Automatik wäre ja das erste was ich abschalten würde :) Ich kann mich einfach nicht an daran gewöhnen, dass es sich anfühlt als würde man den Motor abwürgen. Da fühl ich mich immer wie ein Fahranfänger :)

[@jrlnas4934]

Too bad we can't see the road. I prefer when we can see the road ! Good job from France

[@mazenkhiami9116]

Which gear was that at 4:04? I noticed the rev returned back to 5k and then to around 4k consecutively. The guy floored it and reached 240 I think before the rev changes place. BM drivers, any idea?

[@davidburton7403]

7th or 8th gear

[@zselatyne]

it's beautiful, 250 km/h with 4000rpm (benzin), one of best cars :)

[@ilkererol1986]

What kind of automatic gearbox is this ?? Smt like DSG ??

[@paganizonda1000ps]

@Laserfrankie Hallo erst mal geile vids hast du. Aber wie kommst du an all diese geile Karren ran. Danke für die Antwort

[@savagesam205]

Experienced driver, nice video and nice car!

[@lhrmeonom]

Does it have the sport package and the steering wheel? Mine has one but I haven't seen it yet!

[@Laserfrankie]

@dubster407 Wer sagt denn, dass der zu geringe Abstand durch mich verursacht war? Der Ford Mustang ist vor mir auf die linke Spur gezogen, obwohl rechts alles frei war. Lichthupe hat nichts gebracht, also wurde es etwas enger, bis er dann endlich merkte, dass er nicht allein auf der Autobahn fährt.

[@Fennefar]

Nice driving and an amazing car!

[@GigaBasti]

Schönes Video. A29. WHV nach Oldenburg, oder?

[@Vroth]

That camera positioning is very bad.

[@andylie7699]

And your attitude is very bad

[@ALBw211]

he was driving in the 6 gear and then the gearbox shifts into the 7 gear and at least into the 8 gear :)...this car has 8 speed automatic gearbox from ZF

[@Z0nGuLdAk93]

Was ein Geschoss! 535i ist ein Top Fahrzeug ;)

[@M4sAREbest]

God i wish we had Autobahns in America, we can only dream to be able to drive our cars this fast. Many of us will never get close to these speeds.

[@SLDJipodtouchD]

Hab eine frage kann Mann bei der gesamten Baureihe f10 das DSC kommplett abschalten??

[@bluetiger2k11]

Gibt es heutzutage noch Hersteller, wo Blinkhebel einrasten? Das ist doch selbst z.B. bei einem Astra H nicht mehr so. Bin den neuen 5er noch nicht gefahren, denke aber es wird wie bei meinem E92 sein: Tippen -> Komfortblinken Tippen mit Widerstand überwinden -> echtes Blinken

[@kissc238t]

Nice Engine Sound!! :D

[@omanideiumm]

might be to late, but do you remember what was the consumption on this route?

[@carleinhos95]

love that downshift when you join in the autobahn, 6th to 2nd ?

[@bennicool888]

Not true. The 5 Series isnt loud

[@t3chn0m0]

Da gebe ich dir absolut Recht. Diese Situationen sind einfach lebensgefährlich. Man sollte dazu tendieren, in solchen Situationen rechts zu überholen, sofern kein anderes Fahrzeug in der Nähe ist. Von 260 Km/h auf 130 Km/h runterzubremsen, weil jemand schläft, ist inakzeptabel. Die Reifen und Bremsen werden extrem beansprucht, das Risiko eines Unfalls, finde ich deutlich höher, durch das Abbremsen, vor allem wenn jemand bei gleicher Geschwindigkeit hinter dir "klebt". Rechtsfahrgebot!

[@iAmPeraHD]

Welche Automarke bevorzugst du eigentlich für Schnelle Fahrten?

[@XiAquarii]

Wie macht sich der x35i gegen den x35d? :-]

[@klaprat]

Respekt, jetzt hast du mich aber abgefertigt ;) Der Schein wäre trotzdem weg, schließlich fuhr er bereits auf der linken Spur. Du hättest den Abstand auch vergrößern können. Bin weder Hellseher noch Kaffeesatzleser :D

[@Giannis1860]

What camera di u use and where is your camera placed?

[@mtx80cr80]

Tolles video, ja das mit der beschleunigung stimmt im video sieht es immer langsamer aus als wenn man live drin sitzt, aber auch so sieht man der wagen geht verdammt gut ab.

[@DrS3ad]

i love these videos and yours was awesome but please next time choose another angle for camera we want to see the road

[@Falcon16Fighter]

The gear was changed when he reached the top speed. I think it was from 6 to 7 and than to 8.

[@LancerloverLL]

Nicht beschleunigen, sondern auf der rechten Spur etwas näher zu ihm aufschließen (direkt hinter ihm darfst du ja nicht so nah rankommen wegen Sicherheitsabstand)

[@Grunge1ofil]

I might sound foolish, but what is the actual fuel consumption, when you drive like this?

[@windycityrideshare8839]

What Ford Mustang? All I saw were 2 tires and a rearview mirror...
