Works really well. However it tends to break down a lot. In addition the parts are very expensive which makes it hard to repair. Whenever I have issues with it I have to pay out of pocket. It would have been smarter to lease. It is a great car I just have issues with it especially with the brakes getting worn out.

Like the acceleration and the drive is super smooth.
Needs work often and steering wheel is a little too loose for my liking. It is a super comfortable car to drive but it does sit low and since I live in Texas it can be kind of scary when driving next to big pickup trucks. It is the baseline model so I would obviously like to have had a little more technological features. Tires need to be changed a little more often than I like.

The features that makes my car very unique and reliable.
My vehicle has a good features ranging from good dashboard to nice interior and exterior decorations and good tire. It also has some other amazing features such as good and functioning air conditioner, good sensor and some other interesting things that makes a car very lovely and amazing. The car is very reliable and durable as well and I love it so much.

Gorgeous interior with peak comfort.
This vehicle not only drives smooth and look a good, but also has several key features to ensuring the comfort of the driver. The soft leather and seat heaters make it a great car for these winter drives. And the automatic unlock feature is helpful when you have your hands full and cannot reach for the keys. Additionally the car is a sedan but is quite spacious with plenty of room for all the passengers and a spacious trunk.

One button turns this economy car into a beast. Beat my expectations!
BMW 528i is a very reliable car. The car drives & performs like it should except for two major faults: the start & stop is very rough & passengers quickly notice it. To shut the vehicle off is a real bummer. I prefer to use my phone over car's GPS. The car is not 100% keyless. You would still need to pull the remote out of your pocket each time you need to lock/unlock the car. The 4 cylinder turbo has a lag and takes some time to get going. Downshifting from 2nd to 1st gear, drivers can definitely feel the minor.

I love to ride BMW in every road. There is no other good brand like BMW.
My vehicle is a very good vehicle. Overall there is a little bit of problems in my vehicle but otherwise this is reliable and very much comfort for me. My car also have a lot of features. I am very happy with my car.BMW is the best brand. I think I should buy another car from BMW.I love to ride this car's. My car is also very comfortable to ride in every road.

Luxurious. Some outstanding features-apple CarPlay,automatic emergency braking.
This is wonderful.The engine, seats other features are really amazing. Everything is fine. Few class rivals can match its performance thanks to it is potential engine, nimble handling and smooth ride. This has a posh interior with plenty of space in both rows of seats. There are a lot of standard features.

The car is great and great and great and great.
I love my BMW because it has a great white color and I love the seats it could be a little bigger but it is my favorite car I have had in a long time. I love the front of the car because it looks meaner and that is what I like in a car. I am proud of my BMW but if I had to get another car I would get a bigger BMW.

What I admire about my BMW vehicle and why I admire it.
My vehicle is very reliable, performs well, has nice features such as the wood and black interior with leather which I love. I haven’t had any problems with my car at all and it drives very well. Despite the fact that it is not a more recent year model, it is as good as new!
Michael J

Cool as ice, twice as nice, am not ever want another car a day in my life.
Quick, fast, agile, mobile, versatile. Great acceleration in the sport mode. Technology is easy to use inside. Car keeps you updated on anything that is wrong. When everything is great it can be a smooth quiet ride or you can turn up the volume in sport mode and make people notice you. The only limit is your imagination.
Mitzie W

Drives very well in the rain or snow.
My car is great on gas very smooth and comfortable ride. The only problem is that sometimes it is hard to see from the rear view mirrors. My idrive does not work and the airbag warning light is also on. The biggest issue is the squeaky brakes. I hate cars that are loud especially in the summertime.
April G
on February 23, 2021
My car might be an older car but it looks like something more recent.
I really like my car because it suffices my requirements. It is a BMW so it is of a high standard and the color of the car is black. I prefer the color black because it blends in well and does not look hazy like white. I think my car is an overall really good car which meets my requirements of a proper car for my daily uses.

Gets out of its own way when needed. In other words, it moves out when I need to enter the on ramps to the freeway.
Love that it feels sturdy so that if I got into an accident it would protect me. Love that it's so comfy and LOVe that it has such a strong air conditioner for the hot weather.

I paid cash for the BMW 535I
I love the 8 cameras, the CD/DVD player we have our drive-in theater in the car. I have not had any mechanical problems, I only get compliments from others on the vehicle appearance. It's great for traveling as well as inner city riding. My five girls like to borrow it from time to time for a road trip. The gas mileage is great for long rides. The ride is smooth no outside noise we hear when the windows up. The BMW service at the push of a button has come in handy several times. All the controls at my fingertips to make for a safe enjoyable ride.
Carolyn J
on February 1, 2021
Love the ability to switch from sport to comfort mode while driving.
My make and model has had problems with the panoramic sunroof, which I have had to repair as the warranty does not cover what they consider this to be a cosmetic flaw. I have had issues with the automatic power trunk. It does not always respond to the remote.
Nicoleta D
on January 24, 2021
Very comfortable and spacious.
My car is a very fast car. It is very comfortable and easy to drive. You can listen to music by connecting aux to it, to be more specific, you can connect your phone to it and than listen whatever song you like through youtube, which is great! The seats are very comfortable and you can easily fix them in the way you want by pressing some buttons! It is very spacious and luxurious and the trunk is huge! Back seats are also very large. The only problem I encountered was that the car eats more oil than I expected.
Pamela B

The perfect car for women and everyone.
I love my vehicle for the time I had it I would say I never have a trouble with it. I always go to check it with my mechanics and everything is ok. For my family and me is comfortable. I love hear music and I do not feel at all the motor when the vehicles is on.

The 528i is a 2.0 turbo and faster than the 535.
My BMW is a great car, fast and comfortable. I'd recommend the car to everyone. I have 22in rims, DVD player, leather seats, moon roof to much to list. I bought my car used, low miles, keyless entry and a good sound system. The seat are electric with heat. The a/c is ice cold and since it's a sedan 4 doors it's got enough room to pick up friends.

BMW 5 series review from a personal perspective.
My vehicle is strong sturdy and gives a great performance in long drives. I never had any problems do I consider it gone the most reliable brand. It is trustworthy and I feel very comfortable driving my family in the car. Technicians have always been ahead of its times.

BMW 5 series review - amazing vehicle.
My car is reliable, powerful yet luxurious. It is easy to navigate the controls. The only note is that the service on these vehicles can get costly. And if I had to do it again, I would not get run flat tires or I would get the tire warranty.
George B
on December 28, 2020
Great quality, hybrid, turbo action.
I absolutely love my car the only minor problem that I have was the valve cover cracked on it... It made a lot of noises. But didn't take long to fix and didn't cost as much either. It has wood grain interior, exterior is black. Turbo system, navigation.
Ethan L
on December 21, 2020
Is great in everything but if I could change one thing it would the more space.
It is very good in all things but if there is one thing I could change it would be the space. I need more space. The ac is also a bit slow but I can deal with it. In general it is a very good car in all aspects. It is great in everything. The only thing I would change is the space.

528i has plenty of power but fabulous gas mileage!
My BMW is a great vehicle. Even though it is a 2012 model, it is still very stylish. The gas mileage is terrific. It is a 4-cylinder but has zip, a lot of get-up-and-go! It is a beautiful interior light beige & black. Very comfortable car with all the electronic gadgets. I have never had any mechanical issues with my beamer. The car is essentially 9 years old. I had the dealer replace the battery last month for the first time. Not because it was dead or having any issues but I thought I should with it having the original battery. Amazing!
Teresa P
on December 13, 2020
It is dependable and handles well especially on mountain roads. It is not a gas guzzler.
Dislike that the hands free features do not work. Like the way it handles. Dislike the runlet tires have to be changed at the dealership

Best car ever! Totally worth the money!
My car is the best thing ever! I have had it for about 4 years now. Rarely ever gives me problems. I like to keep her clean and shiny. Makes me feel way more better about my car aging. But she is beauty. I would recommend getting a interior cleaning every 3 weeks to avoid messes.

BMW Short Review 2012 528i
I like my car but it is very expensive when it comes to maintenance. I live in the mountains and tires and brake replacement has been an issue. Also I have had vapor barrier issues with water getting in the wheel well behind the driver. I have been told it is a common issue with the car.

BMW 535i review about comfort and engine.
It's an amazing vehicle, very fast and comfortable, I cannot imagine ever buying a vehicle similarly good for the same price range, I don't know what else to write, it is very good. The 3.0 inline 6 turbocharged makes around 300 hp what makes it an interesting mid range sedan.
Deborah H
on October 28, 2020
It gets tire damage because the wheels stick out far from the body.
It is difficult for me to see over the steering wheel to see the road. It It is a beautiful car. It has a great backup camera.
Elias B
on October 22, 2020
Good vs bad of 2012 BMW 535i.
Negatives: parts are really expensive. It's tough to find mechanics that can work on your car that you can actually trust at a reasonable price. The car is not great on gas. It only takes super gas. Does not have many features. Positives: super stylish car. A very respected model. The computer system in the car is a1.
Jerry H

It's very dependable. Keeping up on maintenance keeps my car performing at peak.
I love the power and performance especially when going uphill I seldom need to downshift. I can take tight turns with very little sway.
Blair M
on October 8, 2020
Well mine is grey and it has a beautiful interior design.
Well my vehicle is very spacious. It rides very smooth as long as it has everything it needs. It has a great stereo system. And the speakers can go to a very loud volume. The trunk has a lot of space and the seats are adjustable and they are comfortable and it also has seat warmers. The only thing you need to be cautious of is make sure you have coolant in it or your engine will blow. Overall this is a great car and I recommend it to anyone with around 3 to 5 in there family.

BMW truly is the 'ultimate driving machine'.
I really have had very few issues with my car. It drives absolutely beautifully and is one of the best looking cars on the road. I have had to have it serviced annually and the dealership does a great job. I have replaced tires twice and it has 87,000 miles on it.
Jaspreet K
on August 25, 2020
Great car at a great value: minimizes the outside noise level to very minimum.
I love my car because you can definitely feel the difference between a regular car and a luxury car. It drives really smoothly, has great gas mileage, the interior and exterior are great as well. The trunk of the car is big. Also, the inside of the car does not feel compact. We have 2 kids and with their car seats, it still feels comfortable as their is still breathing room in the car.
marie h
on August 23, 2020
It is loaded with features and amenities. It is extremely spacious with plenty of leg room. It is easy to drive and the navigation system is user friendly. It is not good on gas. While it's a beautiful car, it is expensive to repair and maintain.
It's important to know that this car is not great on gas mileage.
D D
on July 7, 2020
Reliable vehicle. Safety features are good and performance well above average.
Needs better tires for snow and ice conditioning. Otherwise no real problems. Could maneuver a little better and a little high on engine noise. Parts are expensive to replace. Additional features would be beneficial to customers. Improved outlets and entertainment system upgrade.
Jake D
on July 3, 2020
Slick drive with comfortable and convenient features.
It is very reliable and easy to use. Seats are very comfortable and has good fuel economy. Leather seats are very nice and the infotainment system works really well. Tires are tough and steering is good. Cup holders are nice and the drive is very smooth however it is expensive to maintain and repair the car.

Why you should seek 535i xdrive as a used car gem.
Great ride. Only problem I have had is water pump went at eighty thousand miles. Looks very similar to much newer styles. Does seem to have some weird electrical stuff that pops up now and then. Currently have passenger restraint warning/ airbag fault.
Chris P
on June 7, 2020
Very sporty and stands out from others.
Love this vehicle. Performance is great for such a large vehicle and its weight. Very reliable as I have had no problems to date. Everything has been running smoothly since I purchased 3 years ago. The only problem that this vehicle has ever had was a suspension airbag leaking, but it turned out to be a recall so it was a free repair.

Review of the 2012 BMW, inside look
I love the way this vehicle drives, it's very smooth and has minimal issues. It has a great sound system and good entertainment system as well as comfortable seating for long drives. There are heated seats in the front which is good for cold days and ASL has a very powerful air conditioner for hotter days.

BMW 528i review: only good things.
My vehicle is in perfect condition and I Haven't had any issues with it so far. It is mechanically sound and runs like a dream, although I would love modern technological features added to it. I think that BMW is a fantastic brand although some models could use improvement to increase reliability ratings.

Because it runs slow and is really old that's why my engine works bad and also the interior smells and is getting od just like the car itself.

BMW 5 series with heated front and back seats and a sunroof.
Most difficult part is the buying process. Customer service is the most important part of the process. Reliability is very important and want to feel like it is a good investment. Features including heated front and back seats as well as a sunroof are very nice to have as well as very good quality speakers.

BMW 528i xDrive has everything you need for a everyday, luxury vehicle.
This car has been very reliable. The m package on my vehicle really amps it up.. With luxury features on the interior, while having all the power and speed I need under my hood, this car has it all. One of my favorite things is the comfort level this car has, driving it feels as if you are sitting in your recliner at home.
Janice R

I love the led lights in front of my car & you can change it to the angel eyes.
I bought my BMW used, but it was in great condition. Has special features: lots of space in the front as well as in the back for my passengers, automatic everything, sunroof. When there is a problem with my car either leakage, low tires, overheating, the car will alert you and sometimes slow down if you are driving to pull to the side. This is my third BMW and all my cars have been a great experience for me. Easy to buy parts and upgrade to sports package.
Aaron P

It does cost a lot to maintain which I would tell someone if they wanted to buy one. If something goes wrong it will cost a lot of money to fix.
I love my car. I used to think that luxury car brands were overpriced and not worth it but the ride on my BMW is so smooth, the interior is nice and it looks really good.
Shannon M
on November 11, 2019
The features of my 2012 BMW 5 series that I enjoy the most!
Its push button start is great. I like the heated seats, including the back seats. It has a sport, comfort, and traction mode. Back up camera, Bluetooth. It saves gas because it shuts off while you are at a stop light. It has memory seat adjustments that are set with each key. I do not like that I can not have the windshield defrost on at the same time as I have heat blowing on my feet.
Brittany H

The overall performance of my BMW 5 series.
It is amazing I love this vehicle, it gets great gas mileage. I love the interior and I just love my new car period. It is a decent price. I love this car will get another if I could. It's reliable. The radio is amazing. Very comfortable. I have found no problems with it.

The BMW series 5 can go up to 300,000 miles.
The cost is very high at a monthly payment of 4900. The filters off the car are also very expensive to fix. The filters cost up to 10,000. However, it has good fuel in it. The mileage goes as far as 300,000! It goes on the road very smoothly. It is reliable to go on long road trips.
Autumn S
on October 20, 2019
We own a BMW, and it shows you when you need to check everything on the car.
Our vehicle is an excellent vehicle other than the fact that it squeals. When driving for too long it starts to squeal. We have taken it to multiple auto shops and cannot figure out what’s wrong with it, therefore it is extremely annoying to drive. Other than that it is a very convenient vehicle.

Great value for the money.
I really like this car. It is great on gas, extremely comfortable and easy to drive. We haven't had a lot of problems with it in the 3 years we've owned it. I worry about the age of the car but it is very reliable even though we use it a lot. It is also very sturdy and quiet even when driving on the highway.

A few thoughts on my BMW 528i.
The BMW 528i xDrive is the best riding car I have ever driven. It is very quick for the size of the motor. Switching into sport mode does amazing thing s to the suspension and transmission. The only downside to the car is the radio display. It does not seem as modern as other vehicles have.

Like the overall experience of the car.
Handles great. Has good gas mileage. I like the navigation in front of the steering wheel that gives you your next turn or exit. The computers voice is very soothing and informative and all I have to do to lock it is touch the top of the door handle and touch the inside of the door handle to unlock. The doors open and close quietly. It does not have remote start and there is no color changing option for the ambient lighting for the interior. Not a big fan of orange light. Like the light on the door handles. I use the hands free trunk open option a lot when I am shopping. I would like for the trunk to be air conditioned so my groceries do not get hot.
Allison C

Fun driving in a comfortable, stylish car.
Extremely comfortable to drive/ride in. Especially like the heated seats in the front and the back and the heated steering wheel. I like that you can choose to drive in 3 different modes (sport, comfort, economy). I use the integrated home system for my garage door and have my phone hooked up through Bluetooth. The USB port is essential for me.
Ethan B

Very reliable comfortable sports car.
The BMW 535i is a nice luxury sports car. If you're looking for a comfortable family car with some power this is the car for you. Really smooth suspension that offers eco mode, comfort mode, and sport mode. Really nice interior and music system. Very reliable minimum repairs.

BMW 5 series performance review.
Performs great and is a fun car to drive. I like all the features it has and it is luxury. Maintenance is expensive if you need to get something fixed. The car performs great and drives like it is on rails. The steering is tight and responsive and the braking is super on point.

Fast and sporty family sedan.
I love my BMW 535i, it is the smoothest ride I have ever had. There is no road noise at all. It is luxury, sporty and family all in one vehicle! The seats are amazing they even have seat extenders for those with longer legs. The steering is also great and makes you feel like you are gliding on the road. I definitely recommend the BMW 535i sport and luxury packages added. You will not be disappointed.

Fun and reliable car for driving enthusiasts.
The car has been very good. No problems or issues. It is very comfortable, reliable, feature rich, and drives very well. BMW should allow users to disable some of the connection features, though. For example, removing the Bluetooth remains connected for a long while after the car engine is off.
Melissa S

Review of 2012 BMW 528i. Great luxury vehicle.
Performance is excellent, my only complaint is it takes a few seconds for the turbo to kick in, quick fix is to switch to sport mode. It is comfortable, but I wish the lumbar support would go lower. Lots of good features, such as the I drive options. I wish there were more physical storage areas in the front of the car (there's no good spot for large phones to be placed securely).
Fielding M

The BMW 5 series is very comfortable for the middle class people.
My car is BMW 550i which is the BMW series sedan. My car performs very well. I used this car around 4 years but does not find any problem. The car is very reliable. The car has great features. The car has traffic assistance,plug-in power, digital integration, smart drive moods and so on.
William H

If it ain't foreign, then it's boring.
I love my BMW & all German made cars in general. They are more on high on the maintenance side but the ride is priceless. I would only recommend if you have space for it. If you need a car to just get to work & short on money, get a Honda.
Christopher T
on November 28, 2018
Very comfortable and luxurious BMW.
My vehicle is really comfortable and fast. It is very luxurious and gives me status. The one and only thing I do not like as much about my vehicle is the fact that it consumes a lot of gas. I have to fill it up every week and it's about $80 USD premium gas. This car is really fast and my windshield reflects the mileage I am going at on the glass.
