165k miles and still perfect

I’m constantly surprised with how well built this car is. I’ve owned it for 6 years and it currently has 165k miles. The interior is still rattle free, seats are in perfect condition, everything works. Other than the known HPFP issue at 120k miles, it has been flawless. I get compliments on this car frequently, despite being 12 years old. I’m waiting for it to die so I can buy a new 5 series… but I don’t think it’s going to die anytime soon. 10/10 recommend

The Best Sedan

This is my third BMW. This car is simply outstanding. It looks great outside and inside. It has the perfect combination of luxury and performance. The 4.4L engine is incredibly powerful/fast and the transmission is very smooth. The interior is incredibly nice also. This car is awesome.

2011 5 Series Car of the Year

This post Bangle-era 5 Series is the best so far from BMW! Definitely fun to drive and has adequate power for most drivers. Interior space is very nice. It doesn't come with a BOSE system but the improved 12-speaker stereo system from Harmon Kardon is decent. Bluetooth is standard for this car.

This post-Bangle era 5 Series is much improved in almost ever category. The new 5 series has added horsepower than previous models, look much better, and has a roomy interior.
