The BMW is the best car out there.

My car runs smooth. It has heated seats, keyless entry and Bluetooth capability. There are features that I cannot remember. I can watch DVDs. The car will last me for a long time. I am glad I purchased this vehicle. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a reliable car.

Show your style to the world this summer.

Performance, reliability,comfort and features are very good. Show your style to the world this summer. The 2 series gran coupe is a sporty four-door with distinctive looks, the latest driving technology, and all the performance and maneuverability you expect from a bm.

BMW-Safe car to drive with your family in mind!

This is our 7th BMW. There isn't another car we would buy. The way it's built to safety standards is why we stick to BMW. It rides beautiful and as far as repairs, they are next to none. If it does require repair it is a little expensive however once fixed it drives again forever. We are always given a loaner car from the dealership which is a plus. They repair it in record time. I'm very uncomfortable in other people's cars because I don't feel the quality is there. Some of them feel like riding in a tin can compared to the BMW. Which is a very heavy car. That's what we are used to. We are a BMW family. My daughter owned tow 3 series then upgraded to the X-5. Now she is looking at the new X-7 with third row seating for her family. We just feel it is one of the safest cars on the road. It's like a Tank and can take a hit! That's why we feel safe in them.

Amazing feeling, little leaks

The only problem I have had is leaking fluids. Transmission oil leaks, and some engine oil leaks, but is fixed with a simple gasket change. I love the steering and the way the engine is able to get up to speed, I haven't added much after I bought it. Maintenance is key.

Alex L

Comfort, reliability and the must have feature.

Absolutely love the vehicle. The performance is exactly what I need. The car is very reliable and safe. I am on the bigger side and the comfortable of the vehicle is fine. I have plenty of legroom so I don't feel tight driving. The one feature that I think is a must if you live in cooler climates is a heated steering wheel. Once you have it you wouldn't want a car that doesn't.

Negative Owner Reviews

The vehicle is an all-around great car

It's a nice car but having to work on it yourself can be a real pain. The electronic system makes it a nice ride meaning its smooth and comfortable while still having the power of a sports car. This German vehicle will turn the heads of people standing on the side of the road

Hoang N

It is expensive to fix and maintain. Unless you have the money, don't bother.

I like that it's a comfortable ride and is very spacious. I don't like how big the car is or how expensive the car is to maintain.

Jas W

Very comfortable ride with the incredible sound system. The interior is very nice.

Burns to much gas. And it always in the shop the vehicle has to many recalls. The maintenance is very high.

Sim S on May 5, 2021

The car has an sos button at the top of it in case of an emergency.

This car is absolutely amazing! It is a 2010 so it is ten years old now but it does not feel like it. There are certain times where I have had to taken it to get the engine fixed or a tire but that has only been in recent years. Besides that, it is still a very smooth drive and this vehicle was ahead of its time as it has Bluetooth phone connection,, seat warmers, etc.

Pros from Owners

Joyce P.

The vehicle has been very dependable with no major problems. The vehicle was purchased new as a demo in 2010. Only repairs have been air conditioning system, a motor in rear window, and a windshield wiper pump. For a ten year old luxury vehicle, it has lasted well and I still own it.

Brad J.

This car has a lot of space for being a sedan, and more power then I thought this car would have, this car really gets moving barely touching the pedal, and this car looks great everywhere I park it. I always feel great while driving it.

Cons from Owners

Joyce P.

The vehicle is slightly expensive to maintain unless you can do it yourself. Scheduled oil changes run $100 or more depending on the climate and the type of filter it may use. The nitrogen filled run flat tires are close to $1500 per set.

Brad J.

It ended up being more expensive for parts then I thought it would be. The price of maintenance can be painful in the money area. The cost of parts and maintenance have been a lot more than I expected it would be.
