    The car is quite fast and handles very well especially when cornering. Driver comfort is excellant but could use some more space for storage in the glove compartments. The 6 speed shifting is the only way to go with this auto. Beware of bad weather as the car does not handle well in snow and ice. The i drive system is easier than the old one but still is a bit tricky and sometimes takes your eye off the road.

  • ANOTHER STEP UP - 2004 BMW 5-Series

    I BOUGHT A NEW BMW 325 THREE YEARS AGO AND WAS BLOWN AWAY BY ITS PERFORMANCE AND THE SERVICE OF ITS DEALERS. BASED ON THIS I DECIDED TO GO ONE STEP FURTHER AND BUY A NEW 2004 525. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE BUT IT IS EVEN BETTER THAN THE THREE. I LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT.

    This car has it all. The sportness for driving, comfort and luxury cabin, and the excellent feeling while driving/riding in it. It sure is kind on roads.

  • Dont listen to the Naysayers - 2004 BMW 5-Series
    By -

    This car is definitely the ultimate driving machine. I know there are people who havent driven this car that are keeping the rating down. This car is so smooth, so smart...the I- drive has been simplified compared to the 7-series. Its a breeze to operate. I dont have the nav. system, so I dont know if those complications will develop. The car has enough pickup that I dont have to shift into steptronic unless I need that kick after the light turns green.

    Great looking; sassy; fun to drive; good interior space; handles extremely well. I have the sports package which has a nice stiff feel to it; like youre always in control.

  • No Regrets - 2004 BMW 5-Series

    This is a terrific automobile. Looks, handling, comfort and its as solid as a rock. A lofty price tag, buts its worth it. I-Drive gives a man that total feeling of control, like that same feeling you get when you take possession of the TV remote. Mr. Long Giang at Vista Motors is great.

  • Best car ever own - 2004 BMW 5-Series
    By -

    I love the way the car handles with its AFSteering system. Idrive is very easy and idiot can figure it out with some time spent using it.
