Overview & Reviews
It's no exaggeration to say that the BMW 5 Series sets the standard for premium sport sedans. Introduced for the 1972 model year, the midsize 5 Series has long offered a near-perfect blend of performance, luxury and interior room. It's also highly regarded for its refined styling and innovative technology features.
Most BMW 5 Series models you'll come across will be rear-wheel-drive sedans, though you'll stumble upon the occasional 5 Series wagon on the used car market. In addition, all-wheel drive has been optional for some time, and many used sedans in colder climes will be so equipped. Traditionally, the 5 Series has featured an inline six-cylinder gasoline engine, but BMW has also offered V8 engines, turbocharged four-cylinders and even diesel-powered options. When people ask us to recommend luxury cars, the BMW 5 Series is invariably high on the list, new or used.

You Are What You Drive! - 2002 BMW 5-Series
By Stetamrunning - January 6 - 2:00 amThe 2002 BMW 530i with Premium / Sports Package and add the Steptronic Automatic is all the car one could ever ask for! This is my 7th BMW over the years. My Wife thinks I was nuts to purchase another one until she drove this wonderful machine. Now we fight over the keys!

My favorite car...ever. - 1997 BMW 5-Series
By cork - January 6 - 2:00 amYour best bet is to buy a used one with higher mileage. I bought my 1997 in 2002 with 100K on it. Ive put on 20,000 trouble-free miles. It had a sticker of close to $50,000 and I bought it for $18K. The car spins like a top. High quality fit and finish, comfy, and fun to drive.

2000 528I - 2000 BMW 5-Series
By wingding - January 5 - 2:00 amThis is a great car. It handles great. It has great acceleration. All the small usability details are there as well. I got the premium sports package and found the few small issues I have with the car here. The front bumper scrapes on EVERYTHING. It has caused some damage to the underside of the front bumper. I am 64" tall and the car barely accomodates somebody of my size. BMW does offer a sport seat package that will allow for about 2" more of height. Had I known this I would have gladly purchased the more expensive seats.

Never Again! - 1999 BMW 5-Series
By Dan_Coleman - January 4 - 2:00 amJunk!!! This is my second BMW and definately my last. My last BMW 325i was very expensive to maintain but more reliable than this! I bought this car new and since owning it some of the repairs have been 2 water pumps, power locks, sensors replaced, transmission replaced (almost $10,000), a wheel bearing, and the list goes on! The regular maintenance is a nightmare. Ive spent over $1000 at the dealer for front brake work. My friend owns a 1999 Volvo S80 T6 with more miles and his car has been great! Regular maintenance is low and his car is very reliable. The T6 (twin-turbo) blows away BMWs V8. The Volvo S80 T6 is a much better choice!

BMW 535i - 1990 BMW 5-Series
By washburn6394 - December 22 - 2:00 amWe bought this car used with over 100,000 miles on it. So far, we have had to do only minor repairs (maintenance). The car is fun to drive, FAST, and still gets a lot of looks even though it is 14 years old. This is a fun, showy car thats still safe and dependable enough to drive around with my kids and not feel like an old lady!
