This Year's Model Updates:

Side-impact airbags are now available for rear-seat passengers, as is break-resistant glass for the windows and moonroof.

Pros:
  • Sport sedan in a luxury car package. This is a perfect way to spend that new raise.
Cons:
  • Cheap plastic buttons for the power door lock switches are out of place in a car of this caliber.

  • This car is fast - 1998 BMW 5-Series
    By -

    My 3rd BMW. Since I have had this car I have had wheel bearings replaced twice. Valve cover gasket replaced. One day I could not get in the damn car. I unlocked the door and the door handle would not let me in the damn car. I crawled in through the back door while my 6 year old kid laughed at me. The next time I picked her up from school she said “Daddy you should leave the windows down and slide in like the DUKE boys”. I have only had cold A/C 1 out of the 4 years I have owned this car. I drove in to work with my back wet from sitting in this hot box.

    Great car to drive when it is on the road. Ive owned cars that had a reputation for poor reliability but the car beats them all. Im a first and last time BMW owner. Buy it only if you have a second car and lots of extra cash.
