Update August 2022: Great car, right up until the end. After enjoying my 2010 535xi for a decade+, and over 155,000 miles, I donated her to a charity. I did so because the water pump went out, so with cost to repair plus address a couple of deferred maintenance items, fixing it right cost significantly more than the car’s value. The car handled well all along; power train remained excellent; interior wore well, I still enjoyed tossing it around canyon roads. It remained a delight to drive (light, agile, responsive). I miss it. Given its sturdiness and strong safety features I recommend this 5-series batch as a good first car for a new driver. There are many still on the road, so find a well-maintained one and go! ***** Update January 2020: Still bullet-proof! Basic maintenance, plus recommended engine cleaning make all the difference. This car is still a joy to toss around in CA canyon roads, is a smooth cruise at highway speeds and a great daily driver. **** Original**** This is a great all-around car with a fantastic power train; I love it as my daily driver. Post-warranty maintenance and repair is expensive, though if maintained well the car continues to excel. DO watch the service team carefully and ask questions to understand recommendations completely so you don’t overspend.

BMW 528i, power is adequate and gas mileage is excellent for car of this size. Truly wonder machine on road, feels glued, people slow down on turns I do opposite and car does not complain! It truly deserves ultimate driving machine title.

550i with M-Sport Package

There is no other way to buy a 550i. The M-sport package is a must. The wheels and more aggressive styling gets everyone's attention when you drive by. The Logic 7 system is the best sound system I have ever heard in a car. The growl when you take off on the highway is euphoric. The heads up display is awesome especially when you get the nav directions on the windshield. I now know why everyone who owns a BMW will never own another car. The hard drive lets you burn your CDs and lets you hear your favorite music instantly - no waiting for tracks to pull up and better than my Infiniti hard drive system. The updated iDrive is very quick and intuitive. Bluetooth phone connection is impeccable.

I purchased this BMW 528i used with 37,000 miles Replaced a 2008 Honda Accord. After 1 month, I can say I cold not be happier. My daily commute is 186 miles - I am avg 29 MPG - and have seen 30.2 MPG. at avg speeds of 70 MPH it is not a X drive, for snow I purchased the THULE tire chains off amazon - used them three times. They are excellent - and very easy to install.
Love It

This is simply the best car in the world. It handles like a sport coupe, super quite, and its safe. I can't see why BMW's putting it out of production. It's by far the best car in their lineup and there getting rid of it?
