Used 2011 BMW 5 Series Consumer Reviews
Beauty to look at and exceptional drive
Bought it new and loaded with features both standard package and added specified to meet my requirements. Continues to be as pleasant to drive, both in Sport and in Comfort setting. Great powerful and smooth engine the line 6 double turbo. All combined with Xdrive and good summer or winter tires makes for reassuring drive under all conditions, dry, wet or snow. Driving position is excellent as is the road feel. Rear seats are good for adults but not overly spacious! Trunk is good for 4 people on a normal vacation, while if needed for utility the rear seats can be flattened out. On the negative side one can expect high cost for dealer regular maintenance, although in fairness nothing major has gone wrong for the present 85k in miles. Small annoying thing. The navigation map cannot be renewed any longer, and even early on the cost was prohibitive at $300! And other small things.
Fabulous!
535, 8 speed auto, sport package, premium package etc. Fun to drive, adaptive drive system can be changed with my mood. Controls intuitive. Quality materials contribute to solid feel. Engine has power to spare, transmission smooth. Very quiet cabin. Seats incredibly comfortable. Audio system sound excellent. Its a harmony of technology and power providing a superb driving experience.

Better than I ever Thought
So, I've only had my 535i for about a week, But so far it's been amazing! The finish and quality are beyond anything I've seen before, and I've had many E and S class sedans! Also considered the new E and the new M, and after driving the new 5, there was no question. The E is over a full second slower and interior felt cheap with too many hard angles. The M couldn't touch the flawless ride of the BMW (but it does have a better stereo!) In the end, the new 5 was the fastest, handled the best, and had the richest interior. You HAVE to see the anthracite wood. I REALLY regret not getting the sport package. For $2k, the wheels are much nicer, adjustable ride amazing, and seats are way better!
Love it
Great car, runs great, very comfortable just needed loving from all previous neglect did need to reset the car a couple times but other than that runs great never had an issue with the whole recall problem.

The Best of The Best
All I can say is perfection. My parents just bought me this car and this is by far the best car I have ever driven. It came pretty equipped with sport package, premium 2 package, heads up display, and other options. The color is a new graphite color that makes the car really stand out. It's beyond beautiful. So much fun to drive. Very quite and very smooth. I will forever now always have a BMW because of this car.
