Chris Harris Takes a Ride in the 2014 BMW 535d


Chris Harris started the year with a series of models specially developed to deliver great fuel economy. This time around, Harris got behind the wheel of the 2014 BMW 535d .

We’re not very sure what happened and why Harris went from extreme drifting to these obedient reviews, but it looks like someone paid him to treat this car as nicely as he possibly could. Then again, when you’re whipping around a diesel-powered BMW 5 Series , there’s not too much desire to really hammer on it. Rather, this is an elegant and class car that tuned more for mpg than drifting.
Under the hood of the BMW 535d is a 3.0-liter, straight-six diesel engine that delivers a total of 255 horsepower at 4,000 rpm and a stump-ripping 413 pound-feet from 1,500 rpm. The sprint from 0 to 60 mph is complete in just 5.8 seconds and top speed is limited to 130 mph.
