Our French pals from Supervroum2 took their camera aboard the all-new 2011 BMW 535i sedan during a quick lap around the Estoril circuit in Portugal at the media presentation of the car.

We remind you that in European guise, the 535i's single turbo N55 straight six is rated at 306HP and 400Nm (295 lb-ft) propelling the Bavarian sedan to 100km/h (62mph) in 6.0 seconds and on to an electronically-limited top speed of 250 km/h or 155mph.

The test car seen in the video after the jump was equipped with BMW's eight-speed automatic transmission.

Video is in French, but you get the idea by listening to the engine! The new 8 speed ZF transmission is amazing!

Straight-six is sounding raunchy. Thanks for the video!
