How much I am enjoying my new BMW
The new 2019 BMW 5 series is amazing. I love how smooth the BMW drives. I love the way the seats feel inside the car. It's very quiet inside while your driving no matter if your on normal roads or the highway. And of course I am in love with how the outside of the car is designed! So sleek!

The sunroof, the radio, and how large the car is inside, perfect for a family.
I love this car, it is leather seats and it has so much room for family to sit in. The stereo works perfectly with a backup camera and Bluetooth. There is great mileage on the car and gas prices aren't too higher. The car has much leg room. The car has a sunroof which I love so much.

Excellent hybrid meets all BMW quality and standards. Adapts to my driving style.
Handles very well, comfortable ride, great on gas. Issues with computer and sync of my iPhone. For a hybrid it handles and performs well. Tech friendly. Beautiful console. Roomy and enough space in the back seat. Trunk size is small. Charges quickly.

Great car but very expensive.
This car handles very well and is beautifully designed. Interior is roomy with plenty of legroom. Camera is great but the screen could be bigger. Also the car also disconnects from my phone and tire sensors are delayed so it is difficult to pump air.

A luxury hybrid car that will not disappoint.
So far I haven't had any major problems. I have 16k on the car, have had the scheduled maintenance done. It is one of the most comfortable cars I have ever driven, it is really good on gas mileage and has tons of features like auto drive assist. When commuting every day, it is much easier in this car because of the tech and drive assist features. It is also fast - accelerates on a dime due to the electric motor boost feature. Totally worth the purchase.

The vehicle is decent so if you need a car for driving, buy it.
Its drivable but it is not comfy. The car is very big but it is not to my liking. I use the car to go travel but it sometimes breaks down and that is a really bad thing about the car. Another thing bad about the car is that it is very compact and there is not much space in it.

The car you dreamed of and can afford
This is a very good car. Rides super quiet and handles well on a variety of road surfaces. When accelerating, the gears shift easily and there is no jerking motion felt as the gears shift. The interior is easy to clean and is sturdy. The headlights are great for night time with a large field of coverage.

Department of motor vehicles.
These help prevent driver distraction from bright lights in the rearview mirror. The mirror senses light, particularly from the headlights of a vehicle following behind, that is cast on the mirror. At that point, the glass will automatically darken to prevent glare from bothering the driver. This is particularly useful when the car behind has its bright lights on.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Darius K.

It is a very smooth and calming ride, and it is very durable and safe. Also it has great steering and comfortable seats for me and my family. The last thing I can think of is the audio system, it is not too big of a deal, but it is something I care about and it is amazing!

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Darius K.

To be honest, I do not have many cons, if any about my car. If I had to pick one it would be the gas and the cost of repairs. The gas can be a bit much depending on where you are at and the repairs are so ridiculous at times, a lot of shops try to get over on you and the fact that BMW parts are expensive already, makes it worse.

I am leasing it for around $700 a month. I think it is a good value, on the more expensive end. Drive, interior and exterior are all amazing.

The car is pretty expensive but I did not purchase this car because I am leasing it. So for me it is a good value and I only had to put up under $2000 to get it.
