Apple CarPlay is the best feature.

Very comfortable, easy to drive, smooth drive for driver and passenger. A lot of technology to use. Most drivers probably do not use 25% of the features. My favorite part is apple CarPlay. I wish more apps were available though. BMW should create youtube videos to show how to use the technology and available through the app.

2020 brand new and is equipped with a touch screen.

The car has a touch screen you can also drive with the cruise control. The car has heated seats. The car also has a radio Bluetooth audio selection. It is a 2020 brand new. Very good on gas. This car has great handling and even has a little bit of speed.

My favorite detail of my car would have to be the design.

My car is beautiful and works very well. It gets me where I need to be in a timely manner and the price to refuel is not that much. The design is slick and nice and is visually appealing to me. It has quality features that make for a genuine experience that is both fun and beneficial.

I love the sport mode feature for fast acceleration.

My BMW is very reliable and goes very fast which I love, only issue is insurance is quite expensive which is a downside but overall I really love the car and will drive anywhere opposed to walking, even if my destination is down the street.BMW makes very reliable good quality cars.

Evan K

A classic European luxury automobile.

My BMW 540i is a high quality and reliable performance vehicle with a roomy interior, high tech infotainment system, a host of safety features and creature comforts to appeal to a wide clientele. It is sport on the outside and performs well on the highways and city streets.

Christine M

BMW - ultimate driving machine.

No issues with the vehicle. We are on our second BMW lease and it continues to impress. We. Love the way that it drives on the road and how it drives in the snow. We feel very safe in our car. There should be a class to inform the buyer of all of the functions.

Comfort, convenience and still ride in style.

Comfort is the key. The seats, the leg room and the head room are terrific. The ride is as you would expect from a car like the BMW. It also gets great fuel economy as well both in town and on the highways. The technology is modern, and surprising it is easy to use.

Luis R on February 8, 2021

Sport performance is taking to another level.

The 2020 BMW 530i is a amazing sport car to operate. I instantly fell in love with how well it performs in all weather conditions from sunny, rainy, windy, and unprecedented weather. Smooth but powerful performance. Definitely an elite car that stands out from the rest.
