2009 vs 2010 535i

[Robert A]

Looking to buy a 2009 or 2010 535i, either sport or M-sport. I currently own a 2007 530i (pre LCI).

A few questions for those in the know:

1. M-Sport was only offered in 2010, correct?

2. Sport/Automatic transmission with shift paddles was an option on sport package cars for both years, correct? (For 2010, does it require M-Sport?)

3. Aside from the navigation system, are there any subtle differences (or change points) between the two years that one should know about?

4. Any reliability differences between the two years?

Thank you,
Robert

Isn't just the navigation system - the entire iDrive is different. The 2010 e60 comes with the new iDrive that the F10 has, minus the apps.

But only if equipped with nav, right? W/o nav, you get the old iDrive I think.Isn't just the navigation system - the entire iDrive is different. The 2010 e60 comes with the new iDrive that the F10 has, minus the apps.

Didn't know that.
