2022 BMW 5 Series 530i xDrive 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

The new 530 IX drive is such a nice complete car. It is set up with all the latest technology including remote start and keyless entry. The car drives so smooth and has nice pick up to get you moving. The seats are comfortable and the detail inside the car gives me and my friends a wow factor. The wheels make the car. Lastly, the gas mileage is just right.

Amazing Quality and Powertrain

The car has multiple personalities depending on which driving mode you engage in. Driving in adaptive mode has been my …

2021 BMW 5 Series 530i xDrive 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

Fun to drive and good gas mileage but brake pads do not last. Recommend ultimate care to cover the cost. Replaced pads at 11400 (both), 25093 (both), & 38393 (front) miles. 3rd set of tires at 47k miles 55k miles replaced spark plugs
