Used 2001 BMW 5 Series Consumer Reviews
German perfection
Best car I have ever owned. I will now own nothing but BMW.
Uber Wagon
Not only the best wagon on the market, but the best car. The wagon actually gives you 50/50 weight distribution. Handles better than the sedan. The extra torque of the 540 is worth the investment. I have used it to haul and road trips, etc. Did a euro delivery too, so got to drive it on home turf. Seeing euro delivery is actually cheaper, one would be crazy not to buy that way. New wagons won't be available (E60) til 2005-06.

Best car I ever owned! A blast to drive
This car rocks! It is just plain fun to drive and I never tire of getting behind the wheel. The exterior looks get it noticed and I have recived many compliments on how great the car is. The only thing better than this car would be to own the M5. If you are thinking of buying this car - DO IT! I can't imagine anyone haveing regrets. Just make sure you like the dealer you buy from as dealership quality does not always live up to the quality of the car.
540 6-speed
Fantastic vehicle. Two years after the fact it still brings a smile. Great acceleration, smooth ride, good looks.Replaced stock differential with Dinan 3.15, added other Dinan upgrades.Acceleration from 70 mph to 120 is amazing.Wish the car had a bit more rear leg room. Only minor maintenence problems with light bulbs, key losing initiation and aux. fan. OEM Dunlaps fair, replacement Bridgestone Pole Position SO4's poor, Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's by far the best. Has held its value well, by far the best car I've ever owned.
Love my BMW
Great all around sports sedan. Performance, comfort, and exceptional build quality. Dealer experience for maintenance has been stellar. I am hooked on BMW.
