Used 2011 BMW 5 Series Sedan Consumer Reviews
Overall Quite Good
I look for any excuse at all to go and drive it. Once I dreaded having to run late-night errands. Not any more!
The Charro to heaven
This car is amazing, so different from previous one yet better overall. Now you no longer need to compromise the practicality for the performance of BMW 5 series. Test drove the M37, E350, XF and Cayenne S, this one standout as overall winner. Sport package is absolutely needed to complete the car.

Average
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.
BMW, Mercedes, and Audi owner
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.
