I love BMW car this is very helpful.

The world is now very small in order to use a speedy vehicle such as a BMW.This type car gives a extra benefits in our life. It uses some extra modern technology this cannot find the other car brand. And also again it uses some eco friendly system which is very helpful for our environment.

Best qualities of a BMW car.

Balances sharp handling with a ride quality that will not beat you up; engine choices offer power, smoothness and fuel efficiency; interior is upscale and spacious, with logical, easy-to-use controls. Really smooth and sustainable. Had no big issues with the car and beautiful exterior.

Lexi S

Love the comfortable, red seats.

No problems. The car drives smoothly and has a sport mode. The interior is red and black and the outside is gray. Very sporty. The ac is cold and the heat is cozy on a cold day. It has never had a problem and I get it serviced as needed (when the oil change is needed). The seats are comfortable. Windows take a bit to defrost.

Julian C

John B

It has wonderful performance and is a fun, not stuffy, luxury car.

I love the performance. It's acceleration is key. It has nothing to complain about yet, seeing as I've had it for less than a month.

BMW 528i not very reliable.

With only 42,000 miles, my 2015 BMW 528i needs a new radiator and has a perpetual oil leak that no mechanic can seem to find. All maintenance has been performed routinely, and the vehicle is otherwise in great condition. The base features on this vehicle are lacking compared to the competitors. The performance is great, you would never know it's only a 4-cyl.

Samantha P

Expensive car to maintain and upkeep.

The parts are very expensive and they are hard to find. Mechanics also do not like to work on these model cars as it is more difficult than most cars. My car also uses up a lot of gas. I will definitely go with a more cheaper vehicle next time I got buy another car.

Henry T

Great when brand new, would not get used.

Car handles adequately, though should be better for a sports car. Acceleration is acceptable, amenities are well appointed, through quality of materials seems questionable at times.

Henry Y

I like it when the engine start, that is the BMW I know!

Nothing really wrong with it, or any problem. It is smooth and good. BMW is always my first choice, and this 5 series just doing it fine. I am glad that I have this car. But I do have some little complain, like I hope price can be lower, also the seat belt is a little sharp, it hurts a little on my neck.

Jimi O

Vehicle summary for survey response.

I love it is easy to drive, great on gas, and is a great vehicle for friends and family. I also like the steering wheel handling and the warranty I got. The seats are comfortable and features a lot of properties useful for travels. High recommended for anyone on the go and drives a lot.

Elizabeth J

My car is very important to me and my family it is a nice car.

The vehicle is very nice, it was one of my friends that recommend the car for me last year when I was worried about the type of car to buy, so when I got the car I was thinking it will give me trouble, but I can tell you that it has not develop any fault since last year.

Sasha G

Bold and Beautiful, ready for the world

I have went through so many sets of tires in under a year, no other car that I have owned has went through this many tires, and it only takes 93 gas boy oh boy what a hurting on my pockets. No other real problems except of the seats peeling that's it I like the car it makes you feel like nothing else in the world matters cause all eyes are on you.

Elizabeth H

My car has very many problems but it gets me places.

I often need to replace the battery. Engine light is constantly on although I take it to the mechanic and there does not seem to be anything wrong most times. I have had to replace my front left axle at least two times. I have had to replace the tires for the car many times.

Tanya O on June 20, 2021

My BMW is magnificent the color is blue which is my favorite and I keep it clean.

I've had a few minor problems with the muffler and tail pipe and of course had to buy some new tires but the car overall performs great haven't had any major problems with it. I take it in for oil checks and windshield wiper maintenance on time. The overall condition is good.

Rena L on June 11, 2021

The good and the bad of happiness. I really enjoy the extra leg room.

Currently I am have problems with drive shaft which makes it very difficult to steer the car and the windows sometimes take a long time to come up once down. The fuse box shows no fuses are in need of replacement. And sometimes the sunroof do not close all the way and I have to go back and forth until the window on the driver side close and the same with the sunroof. I enjoy the car other than these two minor details. Just been lucky the rain do not catch me with the window down.

Pros from Owners

Rajesh R.

Comfortable vehicle, runs smoothly, has good headlights, rear Ac ducts are just adequate, power windows are feather touch. Has a small turning radius and feels good to drive. Response to acceleration is a little delayed but acceptable.

Gina M.

Luxurious, drives well in inclement weather, quiet, moderately eco friendly, comfortable, good gas mileage, reliable, fast, safe, lots of options when purchasing, a head-turner, smartphone app that tracks things about the car, large hard drive for music etc, heads up display.

Cons from Owners

Rajesh R.

Battery is unreliable. If switched off in 'D' and not 'P' position of the joy stick the battery keeps on leaking. Don't know why. The next time after you have done this and you come and start the car it gives an indication that the battery has been draining.

Gina M.

Very expensive to repair, have to drive quite a bit to get oil changes and inspections due to mechanics in our rural area not wanting to work on an expensive car, needs premium fuel, there's really not a lot of cons except those upkeep expenses.
