First time BMW owner, a solid car, fun to drive, break is strong and smooth, precision steering, communicative road feel, wish had 535i, power is okay, but feel a little weak when loaded with 5 people, Navigation told me to get off every exit on NJ TPK for no reason and then get back on no matter what mode I select. One time when fuel was low, the car was driving rough and jumping on the road, stopped the car, refueled, and restart - the problem run away.

BMW 535i is a wonder machine

I was bit concerned with cost of this vehicle as it is more pricy than competitors. After driving it for 2 months and doing test drive for other competitors (Lexus, Audi, Infiniti) it is worth it! Solid handling and performance. The car challenges sharp turns and does not lean. 535i is a rocket on wheels,Turbo engine is a piece of art, excellent fuel consumption despite the engine size and power. Too early for reliability feedback but no issues so far
Engine Misfire Light

I have owned this vehicle since August of 2009 and during the first 2000 miles the engine misfire light went on and the manual instructed to immediately go to a service center before damage to the catalytic converter occurs. I was told that it was not a problem and that the light just needed to be reset. Then at 4200 miles it went on again and the engine reduced the power so that the car would barely start. It is now back in the shop for repairs. When this car performs it is perfect. However, I am sincerely disappointed with the reliability of this car. Let's face it, being able to rely on a car to take you where you need to go is the only really necessary feature.
Always can be better

Great road/touring car! Have owned a total of five BMW's. Almost as fun as our Porsche! Pretty good in the snow. Turbo makes driving real fun! No reliability problems after a year.
Joy to drive

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.
Great engine! Will drive ‘til the wheels fall off

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.

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.

Fuel pump replaced twice. Once before recall, once after. Car lost power in two life threatening situations with children in car. Most recent engine issue has put me in a compact rental car for two weeks.... while car continues to confuse technicians.
