Overall great decision for our family.

We absolutely love our roomy BMW. The steering is very comfortable and does not have the sporty feeling as the other BMW vehicles may have. We have not had any problems with our vehicle up to this point. It has withstood many 1,800 mile trips up north. Overall, this vehicle is very spacious, comfortable and safe during our daily and adventuresome travels.

Jill M

All the airbags and features are wonderful. Great car all around.

Very comfortable. Do not like the high insurance payment. The car is very plush inside and has all upgrades. Feel safe in the car.

Great car for 70,000 miles.

Everything is great but it is a BMW. Get rid of it before it reaches 90,000 miles. At this point I have only had to replace a radiator. As far as comfort and features it has everything one could want. I think the heated seats are over board but I live in the south.

Benjamin B

The best vehicle I have ever driven.

The vehicles has no problems. It handles excellent the vehicle drives better than any vehicle I ever had. The BMW 5 is one of the best vehicles of all time it has the best all around development of any vehicle. The vehicle BMW is amazing and should be considered the vehicle of the year.

I love the seats. The radio. The ac. The space.

No problems I just don't have mega feels for a car. Its has great air conditioning great seats. It drives me places I need or want to go. Great place for when me and my friends want to hang out. I like it. The radio works good and there's enough storage for me to put my stuff at so I have no complaints.

Alexis H

It is low to the ground and may be difficult for older ones to get into.

My vehicle is good for storing and carrying things because it is a station wagon model. I like the light blue color. It is difficult because it is an older car and hard to find parts if it breaks down.

Okanlawon O

It is very clean and easy to drive.

The seats are so comfortable and it has every single feature you could ever want. Since I have had the car I haven't had any problems, it is extremely reliable. The car performs well in the snow and rain and I feel safe driving it which is very important. It is super reliable never had any problems. Could be a little bigger. It is very clean and easy to drive. Tires are all great as well. All the functions work great and great in any weather. The seats are super comfortable and the gallons per mile is great too.

Breanna G

Its leather so you sweat in the bad heat.

Its brand new so no problems with it. I love it. So not really complain about it. It's nice leather. And It's white.

A man's dream: BMW 5 series is a good car for both City & Village.

BMW is a German car company. My car's model is 5 series. Yet I do not face any major problem in my 5 series. It is a good car at a medium budget. Its performance, reliability is awesome. It can produce more hp to beat any car in the road. Its comfort level is much better than the previous model. I am satisfied with this car. So, I always suggest everybody to buy BMW 5 series & live tension free at least 5-7 years.

Pros from Owners

Jon F.

Good styling, sporty ride, very reliable, attractive interior, comfortable seating area, good sound system, good handling. Free loaner cars when the car is in for service. Ability to purchase extended warranty with routine maintenance included.

Cons from Owners

Jon F.

The city gas mileage is not as good as I wish it would be, out of warranty repairs are expensive at the dealer's service center, back seat is a little bit cramped, the trunk did not come with a self closing feature.
