This factory service and repair manual for the 2016 BMW 535i GT xDrive is a single-configuration reference: a 3.0L turbocharged inline-six, DOHC, gasoline; a four-door hatchback shell; Base trim and nothing beside it. The material is written in the order a shop needs it, moving from routine service intervals and fluid specifications through engine and driveline repair and on to the chassis and body work that a hatchback with all-wheel drive eventually asks for, with measured figures attached at every stage.

Known issues on the 2016 535i GT xDrive. Coverage of the all-wheel-drive hardware is worth noting, because it is what separates this car from a rear-drive sedan of the same era: the front axle assembly, the transfer case and its actuator, the propeller shafts and the differentials all have removal, installation and tightening procedures of their own, together with the diagnostic routines that identify a drive fault before the transmission is blamed for it. The engine, brake, steering and body-circuit sections around them are documented to the same standard.
