Model Overview:

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.

    I had the somewhat unique experience of actually picking up my car in Germany under the European Delivery Program. I got to drive this car on the AUTOBAHN around Munich and Austria, regretfully because it was a new car, I could not exceed 4000 RPM, nevertheless, the car handled superbly at 120 MILES PER HOUR!!!, what a GREAT EXPERINCE!!! The car exeeded my expectations!

    I have had the BMW 530i for only a short time but this may be the best luxury sedan I have ever owned and that list includes top of the line Mercedes Benz, Lexus, Volvo and Infiniti automobiles. It is smooth on turns and powerful on straight runs. It looks great inside and out and is technologically superior to any car I have owned.

  • The best investment ever! - 2004 BMW 5-Series

    I have had this car for about 4 months and I have had such a great time with this automobile. I would rather have it than anyother car on earth.

  • A fun bimmer for 54 grand - 2004 BMW 5-Series
    By -

    Remember how much fun the 2002 or the 320i was to drive? The 530i brings that back. Tight as a drum and the 6 has enough juice to really give it a run. Gotta get used to the i- drive....hope I dont wreck the thing while Im turning the dials and watching the screen. It is fun!

  • New 5 series - a great step ahead - 2004 BMW 5-Series

    HAve had a 740il - this is everything I expected. Great handling - larger interior. Better looking than the old version. Easy to drive. Fun to drive.

  • First BMW, very impressed so far... - 2004 BMW 5-Series
    By -

    This truly is the sport sedans others are measured by. Altough not perfect, it it definitely the closest thing to it within that price range I test drove. A few more ponies for the 525 would be nice, but it performs at such an efficient level with regards to high revving tranny it is hardly noticed. Man, these guys can build a transmission.

  • awesome - 2004 BMW 5-Series
    By -

    i think you should all buy it it is the nicest car ever

  • What a fun car - 2007 BMW 5-Series
    By -

    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.
