Great car, put about 50K since buying it and had only a couple issues, oil leak at the filter housing and worn flex joint. Comfortable, excellent gas mileage, good performance. I’ll consider another in a year or so, although I’d go for the 6 cylinder.

2014 BMW soft riding and less performance oriented

I have had 3 BMW 528is and the 2014 is my 4th. The ride quality is soft, even in the sport mode and the car feels big and floaty. This was not noticeable as much on the short test drive at the dealer. I purchase a CPO version with the additional warranty. The acceleration is better than my 2008, but the ride quality is the main problem. Far less road feel than the old version and driver feels insulated from the road. Feels like my old Buick from days gone by. I thought about changing the springs to a more sporty feel but changed my mind after several installers expressed no experience in switching out OEM springs to after market springs. I will just have to get used to the numb road feel. BMW has lost it's way on the soul of the 528i in my opinion.

water in rear foot wells. Went to dealer and said vapor barriers had to be replaced. What is a vapor barrier? The plastic inside your door panels. 965.00 dollars to replace and dry the rug. I find out common issue w BMW. This price is after complaining. Originally 1900.00. Only a two year warranty. Will not buy another BMW. It happened again one year after repair. Big problem

Outstanding auto! Absolutely LOVE it. I'm way over my miles on the lease and will be turning it in because it is also out of warranty. Not getting another BMW because now I want to purchase and they shortens the length of the maintenance warranty so farewell BMW and hello Jaguar.
