  MY 2004 5 SERIES. - 2004 BMW 5-Series
  By nellhicks - July 18 - 2:00 am

  Ive had, over the years,driven so many luxury cars. As far as the BMWs go Ive owned the 740il and the Z3. My new 525i has performance and interior comfort like my old 7. But its eyecatching like my Z3 5-6 years ago. I love the Baseball glove color interior.

  The cool 530i - 2004 BMW 5-Series
  By JKDeO - July 18 - 2:00 am

  Sharp, automatic and powerful, the new BMW 530i is the ultimate in sports driveability. Not wanting to be cramped in a sport car and yet wanting the feel of power and acceleration, the 530i is the car for me. At $10,000 less than my last E320, it hard to figure why anybody would not want this sleek muscular piece of steel.

  My impressions of this car are that of solid ride comfort, total feel of the road, and excellent response. This is a very stylish car inside & out. one word to sum up this vehicle is "balance" in ride, performance, looks & quality build.

  I have the SMG transmission which is superb. Can drive as a manual when desired but also as an automatic while sipping your coffee on the way to work. The 545 is very quick and fantastic for highway driving. Super stable at high speeds. Fantastic brakes-stops on a dime.

  i didnt think they could make a better5 - 2004 BMW 5-Series

  Beautiful exaust note. Super accelleration of this very reliable and well tested 8 cylinder. Greatest feature with this engine is the active roll stabilization. no lean in hard curves. Very good workmanship as expected. I have had no problems with the electronics, incl. BMW phone.The large wheels/tires make the look of this car.

  Happy 545 Owner - 2004 BMW 5-Series
  By JDN - July 14 - 10:00 am

  Have had 545 SMG for one month and one day as a replacement for 540-6spd. Car was delivered in pristine condition. Absolutely no defects have surfaced in the first month. Car is quieter, smoother, more stylish, more technically advanced, and more satisfying to own than my previous wheels.

  One of the best ever built - 2004 BMW 5-Series
  By Saurabh - July 14 - 10:00 am

  The new 545 has really made a mark for itself in the automotive industry with robust new technology, design & performance. The design is GREAT, technology (active steering) is none like any other & the performance is absolutely exhilirating (325 horses worth). Overall, Ive never driven a better car. Definetely worth getting for however much the cost or atleast worth test drivign.

  Awesome Automobile! - 2004 BMW 5-Series
  By Lomag - July 14 - 10:00 am

  Boy oh boy! Ive been waiting for this car since late 2001 and I finally got it in Feb 2004. This car is excellent however the sport package is a requirement if you choose to buy it. Active steering is incredible and the active roll stabilization which produces almost no body roll while cornering is incredible as well. These two features are a must!! The interior could use some quality improvement in materials in certain areas. Im sure minor things like this will be worked out over the cars lifetime.
