I have owned this car for a year and find it very average. The steering is terrible and the transmission gear selection is also terrible. The rest is borderline average. It demonstrates very little value for the money. Its much to heavy. Its far from the ultimate driving machine. Not much fun to drive.

This is my 3d BMW. I have also owned an Audi, a Porsche, 3 Mercedes, and 4 Cadillacs plus numerous other cars. Only the Audi in the 70's, a Chevrolet in the 70's, and a Buick in the 80's were as unreliable. Although this is an attractive car, it is very troublesome. Already a recall for the fuel sensor. The car has had hesitation issues, the "Check Engine" light" has been on twice, the "Engine Malfunction" warning light has come on and the car actually quit. Now the passenger auto climate control must be set 10 degrees higher than the driver's to get an equivalent air flow. It is scheduled for the 4th service visit. The car has 3000 miles on it. Last BMW for me.

Loved the car - hated the cost of repair

I really like the way the car drove/performed. Nice look, good power, great mileage, very comfortable...and the 535’s look sharp. That said, it was unbelievably expensive for repair when something did go wrong (which my vehicle suffered...AC/privacy screens, oil leak, trunk shocks, etc.). Loved the way the car performed, but not a good value when you factor in the repair costs.

I traded in my 07 750LI for the new 5'er. Even though I loved the 7 I was desiring more performance. The new 5 has given me everything I could want. 400 hp and handling second to none. I'm sure this will cause some MB E buyers to think twice. Definitely think you should at least test drive the car before you commit to anything else.

I just bought black with Venetian beige 535i at Beverly Hills BMW. I like the performance and handling on this car. I use to have 7 series but with this 5 I don's miss it. I got the sport pkg, premium pkg, convenient pkg and premium pkg2.
