Overview & Reviews

Additional equipment is the only thing that distinguishes the 2007 BMW 5 Series from last year's model. Heading up the list is a standard four-year subscription to BMW Assist, a communications system that automatically contacts your BMW dealer when your car needs service, and summons help in the event of a collision. In addition, there's now an auxiliary input jack for MP3 players and optional high-definition radio, which provides CD-quality sound on FM stations that broadcast in HD. Vehicles with the Sport package get a new steering wheel design and 20-way adjustable multicontour front seats. Finally, 5 Series buyers have the option of getting BMW's Night Vision system, which uses a thermal imaging camera to detect obstacles up to 1,000 feet in front of the car.

• Exceptional ride and handling dynamics, smooth and vigorous engines, premium cabin furnishings, precision build quality, strong resale value.

  Outstanding Sport Sedan - 2007 BMW 5-Series
  By Wrinkledoc - August 3 - 5:46 am

  BMW has created an outstanding sport sedan. The combination of luxury and driving dynamics are hard to beat. We purchased this vehicle as a sport sedan alternative to an SUV for getting from the Bay Area up to Tahoe. So far we love the vehicle. We have no knocks in iDrive. If you have used a computer mouse you should have no problem.

  2007 530i Sedan Review - 2007 BMW 5-Series
  By Lineman - July 30 - 3:06 pm

  This car is the best handling and nicest car I have owned. It is smooth when accelerating and the handling is impressive. The navigation is solid and I did not personally have a issue with the iDrive system. Anyone with computer mouse experience and the ability to conquer Microsoft Windows will find the iDrive system easy to use. My only advice is to stay away from the Performance Package with the run flat tires if you dont want to feel like your running over a speed bump by just running over a cigarette butt.

  2nd beemer - 2007 BMW 5-Series
  By camco - May 18 - 4:43 am

  I got my 1st BMW as a birthday gift 10 years ago. I LOVED it and didnt want to part with it. My husband said that I was long overdue for a new car... test drove a few others... loved the 525xi. My child was 3 weeks old when I was in a head on collision with my old BMW and he slept through it! Now I need a little more room and the same safety features... this car has it. I NEVER thought I would leave an American car but BMW is amazing. With these cars, you only have to get a new one once every 10 years! ENJOY! PS my husband has had two 7 series and two X5. We are converts to BMW!!

  My first foreign vehicle - 2007 BMW 5-Series
  By Craig Graff - April 27 - 6:16 pm

  After owning only American vehicles since 16 - I made my first move to a foreign car after I fell in love with the new BMW 5 series styling - Everyone that views the car seems to feel the same. I think the 550 i with the larger tires just finishes off the car as I would desire it.

  Ultimate Driving Machine - 2007 BMW 5-Series
  By Rory - August 11 - 3:46 am

  IDrive not as bad as many people think. With the option to set the buttons on steering to your specific feature is great. Otherwise, there is no reason to play around with the iDrive while driving.

  Goodbye Lexus - 2007 BMW 5-Series
  By NJ530xi - October 9 - 6:56 pm

  I was set to buy a Lexus GS 300 AWD until I drove the 530xi. It is a great, but expensive, car! Also drove the Audi A6, Infiniti M35AWD and Acura RL. The handling is superb and the attention to detail is appreciated. Long live iDrive - for me it is like using a mouse or joystick. No more fumbling for the correct button or the proper position on a touch screen! Should have listened to the owners forums and ordered the Head Up Display.

  My new BMWer...Our dream car - 2007 BMW 5-Series
  By Mark - March 18 - 2:40 am

  Being military overseas in Germany I was able to purchase our New 5 series at well below what the U.S dealers ask. My wife and I saved thousands and were able to get the 525xi with all the "toys" and luxury items we wanted and deserved. This car is awesome! The mileage this weekend touring Germany got us 30.9 MPG.

  What a fun car - 2007 BMW 5-Series
  By Bobs BMW - January 2 - 9:46 pm

  This car lives up to its title "Ultimate Driving Machine" Fun to drive plenty of power and highly accurate steering. The interior ride and comfort is second to none. The navigation system and radio are a dream because of their ease of use. I would highly recommend this car.
