2000 BMW 5 Series 4 Dr 528i Sedan
Review
Best car I've owned, period. No car handles and performs as well for the price. Reliability has been superb.
Favorite Features
The looks, handling and performance.
Suggested Improvements
None, because the 2004 model eliminated the flimpsy cupholders.

Review
I have owned many many cars but never a BMW. I had heard they were fun to drive but that was all. After purchasing mine, I have never enjoyed my commute to work as I do now. I feel safe and comfortable in this car. All controls are easy to reach and well thought out! I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO ANY OTHER MANUFACTOR... My NEXT CAR WILL BE A BMW!!

Review
I purchased this vehicle used with 22,000 miles on it. It was absolutely spotless. Mine has the Sport and Premium packages and is beautiful both in and out. I was afraid that the 2.8L V-6 would not be powerful enough, but it is more than adequate for the type of driving I do. Besides, the wonderful suspension, brakes and steering more than make up for it, and your gas mileage is a lot better as well. I owned two Lexus ES 300s before this. They were both very competent automobiles, but cannot hold a candle to the 528 in terms of driving experience.
Favorite Features
Looks, handling, braking, steeringand ride.
Suggested Improvements
It shows what a great car this is that everyone complains about such a minor thing as cupholders. You shouldn't be drinking coffee when you drive a car this much fun anyway!

Review
This is definitely a driver's car. My only complaint is that I should have gotten the sports package. You definitely get the lookies from other luxury car drivers. The torque-ie engine makes the car feel a lot faster than it really is, but at cruising speeds, the passing power of this car can be felt and seen by those in your rear view mirror; all you have to do is nudge on the gas a bit, all without having to downshift like other cars. This is, after all, a car meant for the autobahn where everyone drives like speed racer.
Favorite Features
Plenty of torgue, quality in craftsmanship, great on long distant drives.
Suggested Improvements
Everyone's probably sick of hearing this: the cup holder. Replaced it twice, and I'm still not at all happy about it. The A/C's a bit flaky. The Key-Remote can roll down the windows but it can't roll it up (my 328is rolls up all its windows when I lock the car.)
This thing rocks!

2000 BMW 5 Series 4 Dr 528iT Wagon
Review
I have owned a Saab 9000 turbo, a Range Rover, a BMW 6-Series, etc. All-in-all, this is the best vehicle I've ever owned. It's "subtle", esp. w/the 6 cyl. It's so competent, so smooth, esp. with the auto trans., that it took me awhile to realize the many ways in which it excels. Just take a 5-Series on a road trip.....10 miles out, you're thinking, "OK, I could drive to Canada right now, no problem!" I used to wish for the V8, but the BMW 6 cylinders are legendary for reliability, smoothness, & make really nice sounds. The "Touring" model is a bonus; all the goodness of a Five, but more distinctive, & with cargo capacity.
Favorite Features
Reliability, handling, safety, "built like a bank vault".
Suggested Improvements
I dunno......produce an AWD version? But then there's the X5 for that......

Review
great drivers car, but why do so many things break on it? seems ours is cursed by that and being a "target" of problems (keying of total car, rock chips in windshield, nails in tires, shredding of tire sidewall when rotating, cupholder breaking, shimmying at fwy speeds a couple of times for no reason, cd changer jamming up, etc.). love the engine, but needs better interior quality.
Favorite Features
the seats are superb! can ride forever without aches.
Suggested Improvements
better cupholders and visors that go flat up against the side window and extend. also, auto-dimming rear-view mirror should not only be a part of premium pkg. - s/b sport pkg, too.

Review
I drove my first 5 series to my senior prom almost 20 years ago - borrowed my aunt's and was 2 days late bringing it back! Finally able to get my own and am loving it. Ride is firm but supple - never harsh or unpredicatable. Solid vehicle throughout - wish my Ford SuperCoupe had some of the same characteristics.
Favorite Features
Ride, build quility, transmission.
Suggested Improvements
The service (eg oil) indicator reset port, cupholders are pathetic, small mirrors, a/c seems slow to respond.

Review
I just purchased my first BMW(528IA Sport) and I have certainly been missing out on life! The performance of this vehicle is phenomenal, and the styling is distinctive and impeccable.
Favorite Features
Handling, engine roar, exterior styling, interior sophistication, and the look on the guy's face at the traffic light, that purchased the Lexus.
Suggested Improvements
Cup holders(of course) and add a touch of "bass" to the stereo.
Close to perfect
