Beautiful car, rides super smooth, sporty look but the vehicle constanlty has something new wrong with it. Not cheap for labor and very inconveinent always having car at mechanics. I'd never buy a used BMW again.

Fun to Drive - Nav System a Bit Off

Great car - got the manual transmission - full loaded - fun to drive. iDrive complicated but easily learned - just need to sit with the book. Only downside thus far is Nav System - I found the maps to be outdated when compared with my Garmin C330 GPS - interestingly both BMW and Garmin get their maps from the same source (Navteq). Hoping a new and better map will come along soon. This is a peppy and fun car to drive. Can't wait to test the AWD in the winter. Highly recommend the stick shift.

unreliable POS

if you want an unreliable car this is for you. Timing chain snaps at 97k. Six months later stranded again cause the steering lock mechanism failed. Gotta tow that pos again. I've only been stranded twice in the last 17 years. Both times BMW, I'm going back to Japanese reliability and will never buy or recommend BMW.

I purchased my 2007 BMW 530XI, Sport package in March of 2019 with 99,000 miles on it for $5,000. I now have 119,000 fun filled enjoyable miles. The styling is still fresh, and I disagree with the terrible E60 Bangle comments all over the internet. The sedan is perfect for a family jaunt to dinner, but most enjoyable as a single driver and how the car handles on the highway at interstate speeds. The engine is beautiful, and sounds amazing, no need for sound effect exhaust systems. The interior is classic, and the I Drive is much simpler than made out to be. Overall, the car is fun and sport driving personified.

We have owned this car for 10 years. It is a joy to Drive. Great handling, cruising at high speeds is effortless without a sound.steering, brakes are wonderful.we have driven this car all over Northeast, in the snow as well. All wheel drive helps. We have had great fun driving this car! Very reliable and great BMW service.
