Has anyone found that the shifter fails to respond.while the car is "determined to STAY IN PARK. I occasionally have to turn off the engine, and restart the car to keep it in drive. Very frustrating esp. when cars behind you are being blocked because you can't move...This event has occurred 3 times in the past 3 mos.

Excellent German Automobile

I like this car a lot. It is solidly constructed and very tight. The engine is powerful and fun. While the car handles well, the steering is a bit numb on feedback from the road. The infotainment system is the best I've seen in a car. I'm a previous Mercedes owner and theirs is awful compared to BMW's. The seats are incredibly comfortable. The ride is taut yet smooth. The interior is quieter than my old E class. The interior of this car is sparse compared to the E class. If you want more glitz, you won't find it here which suits me just fine. I like things simple and strong and this car delivers. The car has the ride that the E class should have but doesn't. It's also still sporty enough to make you smile when you step on the gas.

Marriage of luxury refinement and speed

This isn't a sports car, it's sport sedan. It's large and comfortable enough for long trips, perfectly sized daily commuting, impeccably appointed with interior finishes and technology, and blessed with an engine/transmission combo that gives you smooth and powerful acceleration. I'd opt for the M sport and shadow line packages for the next exterior look, and the executive package provides some really nice interior and convenience extras.

Fabulous sport sedan

This is actually my third BMW 5 series. This 2023 model is ideal size, ultra-smooth and powerful and handles almost like a sports car. Impossible to believe this is a turbo 4 and not an V8. Inside and out it is luxurious and of the highest quality, meticulously mad. If you’re interested in a mid-sized sport sedan the BMW 5 series is tops in It’s class.

A Classy Smooth Driving Car

As a first time BMW owner, I was NOT disappointed at all. Such a smooth ride, fully loaded, and can comfortably seated five people comfortably.
