    No regrets in getting my Black 545i. Im totally sold except that Im filling up gas every 4 days. I love to race my car and it looks really sexy especially with my auburn interior leather.

    this is simply the greatest car ever made by man. everything you could possibly need is in this car. It is stylish, luxurious, and sporty. it is a luxury sedan handling like a sport sedan. Lots of wood trim in this car. the iDrive system is awesome. If you dont already have one, buy one today.

    Great car so far. Excellent performance. Did not like sports package, ride too choppy. Ordered several options. Handles and rides very securely. Chose this car over Mercedes E500 after I test drove both.

  • I love it!!! - 2004 BMW 5-Series

    This has to be one of the most exciting cars to drive today. I love it!!! A bonus that I didnt even expect was the great mileage I get when driving on the highway... 36MPG!!

  • Envy of all - 2004 BMW 5-Series
    By -

    Ive owned my 525i w/sport/premium pkg since 4/04. This is probably the best handling sedan ive driven to date. Lux but sporty. Expected gas mileage to be better around town. Avg 35mpg on the highway. Couldnt justify spending the cheese for the 530. The extra hp is only noticably missing at low speeds. Not a factor on the highway. Finally getting used to the stares at stop lights. If youre thinking of purchasing - stop 2nd guessing and get it. Youll be glad you did.

  • I love my 545! - 2004 BMW 5-Series
    By -

    This is my second BMW. My first was a 3 Series which I also enjoyed. The only reason I traded in my 3 series was due the pressure from my husband to upgrade. Once I drove my 545 just a few times I fell in love. I have never loved a car until I drove this car. Im a mom and this car was my compromise to Momhood. I have room for three kids in back. Tons of trunk room and a sports car to drive. Yippee. The only bad part is I dont get to play with it very often because Im usually hauling kids.

  • Awesome car - - delighted with it - 2004 BMW 5-Series

    My first BMW but certainly not last. Excellent car with superb looks inside and out. Very fun to drive and extremley reliable. Buy the extended service - - well worth the money.

  • no negitives - 2004 BMW 5-Series
    By -

    This car, the 2004 BMW 530, has no negatives so far. It rides like a big car handles like a sports car and makes the statement "wow" all by it self. Some negative coments have been made about the I drive, comes from fear!!! The only negative comment I do have is that bmw and motorola have not got the integrated cell phone to work correctly yet.

  • Early Impressions - 2004 BMW 5-Series
    By -

    No disappiontments. Great driving experience. iDrive has been criticized by many reviewers, but I find it much like a computer, once mastered, it is very logical.

  • no pp no sp - 2004 BMW 5-Series
    By -

    The car is very confortable without the nice seats and lumbar in the pp, the support is very nice, seats are hard enough to be supportive and soft enough to be comfy, althought w/o sp, the car feels like it has a sports tuned suspension, but ride is very smooth. deceptively quick. Styling is sharp.
