I had the same experience. I drove nearly every model of the 2013 535's and every one had significant lag. I'm hoping they fix it in the 2014 models. Time will tell.

Parking like that in a crowded parking lot and taking up 2 spaces would get your car severely keyed and scratched up in my part of the country.

That "old engine" you didn't like has none of the drawbacks of the current BMW motors and it outperforms them somewhat. It's a non-turbo, direct injection V6 that puts out 307 HP and beats the 535i...

Unfortunately that's not the case. I destroyed 2 runflats on the left side by hitting one pothole. It cost a bit over $900 to have both tires replaced. Luckily I had wheel and tire insurance.

Who wants a rebuilt engine on a brand new car? I would accept nothing less than a new car, preferably a 2014 model coming out in a few weeks.

How about backing up your "facts" with some credible references we can all take a look at. Until you do, it is all conjecture. And a very unlikely one at that.

Beautiful car. Looks great. Are you in a state that doesn't require a front license plate? The front end looks nice and clean without one.

A step down from the current models. The front end looks like a fish with it's mouth open, and the rest looks like a generic Toyota. The current E-Class profile looks so much better.

If you're driving an '08, it's time to bite the bullet and get a new battery. Save yourself a lot of headaches and let BMW install it.
