What an amazing ride!!
My 535xi has just went over 208k miles. She still loves to Accelerate and hug the corners. I've had my BMW for a little over a year and have used it as my daily driver. My Bimmer has a great history of maintenance and that has paid off to keep this car driving well. I've replaced a few parts here and there which was expected with the high mileage. As soon as I get my 2003 Nissan Altima 3.5 L up and running as my daily, I will do a little upgrade on the turbos. This is my dream car and will be in the family for many years to come.

Accidentally bought my dream car
I went to the dealer for an infinity and walked out with a 2008 535i with 93k miles and dont regret it one bit. The car has been great and I've put almost 20k miles on it in a year and still runs like I got it out the dealer. Besides a small coolant leak I've had no issues and still smoke any charger rt or camaro (besides monster ss or zl1) at a street light. As long as you take care of it, it will take care of you.

Great Classic Cruiser
Maintenance expenses are steep but necessary. Technology is now dated but the car is smooth, fast and stable.

Fun to Drive
I've been driving my 528xi for a few months now and I still love getting in the car and taking a drive. It is truly amazing and so comfortable. While not as much of a "beast" as the 535, it is still quick on acceleration and has that luxury/comfort/sports combo so missing with other cars. iDrive isn't the best, but it is quick to learn and makes stuff easier. iPhone integration is seamless. I have premium, cold, navi, xenons and iPod adaptor. No complaints. BTW: this was my second BMW. 2003, e39 was the first.
Always in the service bay
I have owned two 550i's in a year and a half. The reason for two is that the first one was in service for massive computer troubles 14 times in a 12 month period. The dealership swapped me out of the trouble maker and now in only four months and 4000 miles I am in service overheating and all the windows and sunroof seem to open by themselves. Please avoid this model
