Overview & Reviews
The 5 Series cars carry over from last year with small changes and no price increase.
- Sport sedan and wagon in a luxury-car package.
- Cheap plastic buttons for the power door lock switches are out of place in a car of this caliber, manual transmission in 540i difficult to modulate smoothly.

Serious Sedan - 2000 BMW 5-Series
By XERIC - August 27 - 2:00 amThis is a Serious car. I have the 528i with the Sport Package. A must for the price, it adds a better suspension, M series steering wheel and 17" rims w/ low profile sport tires. It is comfortable and sporty, has a big trunk (holds clubs and luggage easily)and handles great. Not only is this car fun to drive it looks awesome, this added to the fact that long distance travel is as easy on you as city driving. Overall the best sedan in its class (except the 540i).

Amazing Bimmer! - 2000 BMW 5-Series
By E39Lover - August 20 - 2:00 amThis car has the sport/premium package and what a difference it makes. The car handles like a dream, equally balancing sport handling with a luxury feel. The quiet, smooth ride makes you want to go around the block one more time. The car has 33K miles and accelerates just like new. Best Car Ive ever driven - beats Lexus, Audi and Mercedes, hands down.

540i StationWeapon - 2000 BMW 5-Series
By StationWeapon - July 15 - 2:00 amJast as fast as my brother 96 911, with seating for 5, cup holders (okay they suck), and room for the kids. Just the best car Ive ever had. Mileage is similar to SUV but driving everyday brings much more joy. Xenon lights are incredible, engine is smooth and powerful. The only downside is you need to put your golf bags in diagonally.

My 2000 540i Sport 6-speed - 2000 BMW 5-Series
By jimi3 - June 16 - 2:00 amThe 540i Sport is as close as you can get to the Ultimate Sport Sedan, the BMW M5, for thousands of dollars less. The ride quality and all-around performance characteristics are top- notch. The DSP sound system is also without compromise for a factory installed system. The braking and clutch operations leave little room for improvement. No wonder BMW is called the "ultimate driving machine."

pros and cons - 2000 BMW 5-Series
By rwirtz - June 3 - 2:00 amThis is the best driving car I have ever owned. However, the Audi A6 had better interior ergonomics. I know that many people like the exhaust roar of the engine, but more sound dampening in the interior to eliminate the noise would enhance the total luxury driving experience.

yawza! - 2000 BMW 5-Series
By car maven - May 25 - 2:00 amThe absolutely BEST car I have ever owned. Manually tranny, sports package, zenon lights - it goes where you point it. Handles like a drea, extremely smooth shifting, suspension is surperb. 17" tires with skinny sidewalls - if you start to lose air, kiss the tire goodbye. The sidewall will be chewed up by the time you get over to the shoulder of the road. Also, tires are hard to find -be prepared to wait a day or so to get replacement. Low ground clearance- especially with front spoiler. Be careful of jerky valet parking lot attendants. Complaint - lousy coffee cup holders! But, ze should not be drinking kaffee whilst driving! Ya?

Still in Love - 2000 BMW 5-Series
By Lambeau Man - May 15 - 2:00 amLease is expiring in 2 months, and both my wife and I are SOLD on this car. Even at 31,000 miles it runs like new - tight handling and quick in 2nd and 3rd gear. The comment about 60 to 105 mph is right on.
