BMW535i
7 Series anatomy, 5 Series soul

LISBON, PORTUGAL—IT TAKES
only a couple laps of Estoril, the
famed Iberian circuit that was
the Formula 1 playground of
Senna, Prost and Mansell,

expected from the marque.

helpers and you'll find there's
accurate and well-weighted
steering that almost seems to
find the apex by itsel F FIRST DRIVE FIRS IVE E F I R F
