If you can get a 2003 530i (old style)
then buy that one. The "new" 5 does
not even come close to this car. I
have both 2003 & 2004. If I could get
rid of the '04 I would in a second.
The car vibrates at 80 mph. When the
wind hits it is like a sailboat. Lots
of wind noise inside. The headlights
are pointed too low and you can only
see about 10-15 feet ahead of you at
night. It doesnt even have a coin
holder!!! Definitely, does NOT feel
like a BMW.

I purchased a 545i today after driving
a 530i Sport package demo. This car
is pretty awesome. The 6 speed auto
transmission was surprisingly smooth
and did a nice job of kicking into
lower gears coming out of the apex of
my turns. Anyone who thinks the new i-
Drive is difficult simply lacks any
degree of common sense. I found the
system easy to navigate. And BMW did
a nice job of adding a menu button to
get back to the main screen if you
shold get lost and functional knobs
for the temp control and raido volume,
which pretty much eliminates the
necessity to use the i-Drive when you
are driving.

My wife fell in love with the car when
we walked into the showroom. Handles
great as expected from a BMW. Lots of
new bells and whistles. FUN !!!

Fun to drive vehicle, if you can ge ur
hand on one. Quite, spacious and
great to look at. However, drives
more like a Japanes care than a BMW.
But that could be just the new car
feel. Many small issues bother me a
lot such as:
Compulsory seat betlt usage in the
front , or the car keeps on beeping.
No storage space
Inconvenient cup holders
Very badly designed seats - headrest
is almost 1/2 foot back.
And last, the idrive system. Good luck
learning that.

Test drove today the new 530i, Still a
very nice car to drive Great steering
and handling with excellent ride
quality, comfort and highway quietness.
Interior no longer seems to have the
edge like the previous 5 did but still
not bad at all, still nicer the the New
Mercedes Benz E-Class.
