528i is the best

This is my third BMW in a row because I love this brand. I know from the salesperson I went to for my new to me 2016 528i that once a BMW person always a BMW person...his words not mine...and it is true. I had a 1995 530i , Black Beauty, then a 2008 328i, Silver Bullet, and now a 2016 528i, White Lightning. There is just something that I cannot explain abour the fact that once you have had a BMW in your life it becomes the only car you will ever want to own.

Mr. almost got killed by BMW faulty traction contr

I bought this vehicle not long ago. I drove it on a rainy day with an average speed of 50mph. I hit the traction control to maximize traction control, but the vehicle started to act weird. First, It locked up my control wheel. then it started to roll left. I was driving alone so i assumed that there was more weight on the left and thats why it rolled left. The vehicle was designed to not let you place any control input to fix the left roll. I hit curve so hard that it almost took my life. I will never trust BMW traction control system again. If you own this vehicle and you live in a area where it rains a lot, I suggest you sell your BMW right a way. Its not worth it to risk your life for some beautiful interior designs.

No back up camera, no blind spot sensors, navigation is outdated. Not worth it.
