This is my 3rd BMW and 1st 5 series. I simply love this car. It is well-appointed, seats five comfortably and drives like a demon. The 4.4l engine is built like a Swiss watch, and can easily run up to red-line with no hint of roughness. The low-end torque is outstanding as well. With the 6 speed and sport differential the car hits 65 MPH in second gear in around 5 seconds. The sound system is excellent as well.

If you love to drive and can handle the
price, you should own this car. There
is nothing else (except the M5) like
it. It's fast, tight, refined and
inspring to drive. After 16,000 miles
I still get excited every morning when
I back out of the driveway and head out
onto the road.

This car is simply the best. It's
gives a great driving experience and
serves as a practical car, with four
doors and spacious trunk. Power is
excellent with the V8, and control is
spot on, the big tires plant themselves
to the road and just don't let go. I
dread the day, many years from now when
I'll have to give up this car.

I just moved up from my 97 to a 99
528IA.
So sweet. I was looking at new Nissan
Altima's, used Volvo S-80's, and
Infinity G35's.
Bottom line - they are not the ultimate
drivig machine. Buy a ceritifed used
vehicle, beat on the dealer, do your
homework on price (TMV with Edmunds and
look at Car & Drivers websote as well
as Kelly Blue Book on line), sell your
used car, and take advantage of BMW
financing (I'm in at 3.9 60 months,
100%).
You will not be sorry.

This is my third 5 series beamer and
nothing comes close to the proformance,
style and comfort of my 540I. Equiped
with every option including the 6 speed
manual transmission that will put you
back in the sit in each gear. The low
end torque allows me to limit the down
shifts and still leave me a lot of
power.

This car is serious. I just bought it
last month and I have never been more
impressed with a 4 door sports car. I
had turned in my SL500 and this car is
everything that car was (except for the
convertible!) and I can put a baby seat
in the back!

What a pleasure it is to drive again.
This car preforms like a precision
machine with creature comforts beyond
my wildest dreams. All of that and
reasonable operating costs too. It was
a financial leap worth making,a true
definition of the word value.

Great performance, fun to drive, don't
live in New England, however. Bad in
snow/ice, even a very little. Interior
design is good, love the radio controls
on the steering wheel. Cup holders
have broken off five times, windshield
wipers have stopped working in the
rain, front molding has fallen off.

Far & away the best car I've ever
owned.This car is not a Lexus. You
feel every curve, the engine is
inspiring and the reliability is
unmatched.
