Paying Tribute to my 5 Series

hb1991,06/05/2012

316k miles and still drives like a dream. This car has been in my family for 12 years and has not given me any major mechanical problems. This has been and will be the best car I will ever own.

E-34 --- The best kept secret !

Josh S.,03/07/2005

I've had my 525i for about a year and a half, and have no regrets about the purchase. This car feels like a "real" car.

The build quality is outstanding and the design seems straightforward and no-nonsense. It looks timeless, and as a used vehicle, I

Should I lease or buy a 1991 BMW 5 Series?

Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
