The 2017 530i was my entry into the brand. I love this car. It’s black on black styling is always a stunner. Looks very elegant and the ride is so smooth.
Very disappointing

I purchased a used 2017 with 50k miles on it. The car drove fine till the 73k miles where a coolant warning started to show, I refill the coolant but after sometime the hose from coolant tank and radiator broke damaging the water pump. (IF YOU SEE A COOLANT WARNING ON YOUR BMW DON'T REFILL, TAKE IT IMMEDIATELY TO BE SERVICED). The water pump and hose replacement was 1800k plus labor. The mechannic also said the suspension control arms has to be replaced costing 1200k including labor (that explains the vibration on the steering wheels above 70mph and during braking). There where also 2 other things to fix that would cost me another 4 thousand dollars that I haven't fixed. After that I immediately sold that money pit. The good BMWs are: new ones with warranty. The bad ones: any without warranty.

the back seat in mine is fine. silky smooth. steering feel is still the elephant in the room. it is horrid, vague, light, uncertain. truly tragic. and electronics are quite buggy. typical among several of the bmw I have had, continues on today. (oh, and watch the GPS, it will take you in circles just for fun). otherwise, it approaches some of the marketing hype in overall performance. nice car. if you have never had one before , it is a camry that rides quieter, handles better, looks far cooler, and costs a fortune more to operate. I have this car and a camry hybrid. I love the BMW, I would keep the camry if I had to chose.

Excellent vehicle with first class build quality. The six cylinder engine is exceptional and won't leave you wanting for any additional power.

This car has been amazing. Ours is a 2017 with almost 70K miles as I live in Tempe, AZ and drive to Tucson frequently which is about a 1.5-2 hour drive…and this car has been nothing but solid. Outside of standard maintenance, the motor mounts were replaced once, covered under warranty which is the only abnormal repair it’s ever needed. It is super quiet inside, muting the road noise very well. The ride is silky smooth and that’s pretty clear the second you get in after riding in just about any other car. Steering can be vague in comfort mode, but is much better in sport although it would be nice if it was a little tighter. Overall you can still have fun in this car, it’s decently powerful even the 4-cyl model and can be fun on mountain roads. The ambient lighting is also great along with the upgraded sound system which is a must. All things considered, I would easily buy another. The trick to bmws is to know a bmw mechanic outside of the dealer. The dealers are dishonest and will convince you your car has tons of problems it doesn’t. As long as you have someone trustworthy to look after it, these are the best cars on the road.
