  A stag in the forrest of wanabes - 2004 BMW 5-Series
  By Paulo at Whitehouse - October 18 - 2:00 am

  Hunterdon BMW (Whitehouse, NJ) provided a lone stag namely, 530i 2004 fully loaded Titanium 4 dr sedan drives like a dream. Corners like a NASCAR winner. Acceleration is awsome. Comfort and class is better than LEXUS. Worth every dollar at $44,600. Styling is five years ahead of its time while the driving pleasure unbelievable. Hold 4 golf bags with ease, back seat passengers think they are in a big SUV with internal quietness at 80 mph as if you are sitting in their living room. BMW engineers (BMW production)should be proud & very pleased with this design, execution and delivery of a near luxury driving machine-Next decade performance and comfort.

  545IA - 2004 BMW 5-Series
  By bdh - August 30 - 2:00 am

  I have had this car of 2 months. It is the best driving vehicle I have ever had. Terrific acceleration and handling. The Logic-7 sound system is awesome. The i-drive has many uselful functions but I question its overall benefit. It is not too obtrusive if you are willing to spend the time to learn it. The active steering and suspension adds to the experience. I drove all of its competitors and they are not close to matching its handling characterisitcs. I would highly recommend this car to anyone who loves to drive.

  Extreme Satisfaction - 2004 BMW 5-Series
  By Casmir22 - July 24 - 2:00 am

  Each time you enter this car and get on the road you are amazed at its amazing handling and comfort. I feel as if I am sitting in an easy chair. The ride is smooth and quiet, unlike avearage european made autombiles and better than both the Mercedes 2 & 3 series. I also prefer it over the Lexus counterpart. What continues to amaze me that even after all this time, the car still makes me smile and shake my head in surprise, each ride. Its a never ending joyride that I feel completely safe in because its response is unquestionable in all situations the car stays with you. I planning for the new 530i as we speak.

  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.

  FACTORY DEFECTS - 2004 BMW 5-Series
  By MURRAY - July 18 - 2:00 am

  POOR QUALITY OF IGNITION COILS THAT WERE INSTALLED DURING PRODUCTION AND VERY POOR SERVICE ANALYSIS ( SO FAR TOOK 3 TIMES TO CORRECT) BY PRESTIGE MOTORS IN RAMSEY NJ MADE THE OWNERSHIP OF THIS 525I LESS THAN SATISFACTORY. IN SHORT THE SERVICING DEALER COULD NOT CARE LESS ABOUT THE CUSTOMER. THIS WELL KNOWN IGNITION PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND CORRECTED PRIOR TO DELIVERY.

  By rfc0521 - July 18 - 2:00 am

  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.

  Great car - 2004 BMW 5-Series
  By thormark - July 14 - 10:00 am

  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
  By rdavidml - July 14 - 10:00 am

  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.
