I love this car so much. It is worth the money and a good investment.
I love this car. I purchased it on decent gas mileage and in good condition. The price is awesome for what you receive and I am very happy with the purchase. It has cup holders, which is very useful and convenient when I need a place to set my morning coffee. I had the seats redone and lined with faux leather so that there would be less risk of staining. The GPS is very helpful and quick to locate any restaurants, addresses, grocery stories I need to take a trip to.

The best thing about this car is the leather interior.
This car is an amazing car! This car has features unlike any other car the sports mode is really nice on this car. The leather interior is really nice on the car. It handles bumps in the road very well. This car has broken down once in the 3 yrs I have had the car so it is really good to have this car and people should buy it.

Fantastic smooth ride that will put a smile on your face.
Rides very smooth and fast. Great acceleration. When you put the car in sport mode, you can definitely feel the difference. The car is a lot of fun to drive in this mode. Great for long trips as the car is very comfortable. Nice interior finishes and has a luxurious feel.

It is really fast and fun to drive! The car is definitely recommended for a person that enjoys driving.
My car is awesome! It is a 535i GT and has the steptronic paddle shifters. It has a ton of horsepower and very fun to drive! The inside is also the epitome of luxury and comfort.

I can review 5 star and its is very excellent.
There are no bad roads – only opportunities for new driving adventures. It looks good everywhere. The BMW slogan couldn't be more true. It really is the ultimate driving machine, especially with the bimmertech upgrades. So that is why I love BMWs. They connect with the driver more than any other car I have ever driven. They stick.

I like it. The radio works good and there's enough storage for me to put my stuff at so I have no complaints.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
