Fun if you hate having money.

I bought a used 530i from a D-patrick with 119,000 miles on it. It was great at first and all I had to do was the routine maintenance for maybe the first 15,000 miles. Then it went down hill really quick. BUS unit ended up shot and couldn't listen to the radio, A/C compressor went out, control arms ended up shot, struts went out, throttle position sensor went bad, floor boards started taking water for some reason and never figured that out, water pump had to be replaced, windshield wiper motor had to be replaced, rear windows stopped moving, on and on and on everything electric in that car just stopped working and I got tired of sinking money in to the pos. I couldn't believe how lucky I was when someone hit me and totalled the thing. Good riddance.

The 2007 BMW 525i is a blast to drive with good gas mileage. Handles like a race car and is still has plenty of luxury to it. A buy all day long!

My first BMW

There is much to like about this car. Performance, styling, and reliability. It also seems to maintain value. There are some frustrating features on the car - the iDrive takes some getting used to. Something that should be simple, like tuning the radio, switching from CD to radio, even the climate control, has been (in my opinion) over-engineered. Often multiple steps are required to perform a function that could be more easily done with the turn of a knob. The sun roof is very noisy (after the sale, the rep. said all 5-Series have excessive wind noise when closed). I usually just keep the interior cover closed to avoid the noise. Interior cabin storage is non-existent, but the trunk is large.

This is my first BMW and it is fun! Everything from the exterior styling to the driving characteristics are great. The iDrive system does take a little time to master but allows you to program many things that other cars do not. The car is getting well over the average miles per gallon in city traffic.

My new BMWer...Our dream car

Being military overseas in Germany I was able to purchase our New 5 series at well below what the U.S dealers ask. My wife and I saved thousands and were able to get the 525xi with all the "toys" and luxury items we wanted and deserved. This car is awesome! The mileage this weekend touring Germany got us 30.9 MPG.
