Overview & Reviews
The 5 Series cars carry over from last year with small changes and no price increase.
- Sport sedan and wagon in a luxury-car package.
- Cheap plastic buttons for the power door lock switches are out of place in a car of this caliber, manual transmission in 540i difficult to modulate smoothly.

My first car from across the pond... - 2000 BMW 5-Series
By skent - March 24 - 2:50 pmConfidence inspiring. That really sums it up. This car has legendary handling, more than adequate power and killer brakes. This is my first BMW and it will not be my last. I was a little concerned about the maintenace stories, but after having the car a while and doing some research on maintaining this car and some of the cures to common issues, Im not at all worried. Love the styling in and out. The style #66 wheels are my favorite as well.

Great car to buy for the money - 2000 BMW 5-Series
By IK - February 17 - 2:41 amI bought this car used. It already had 92000 miles. I drove for one year and it is over 100K. The car runs perfect and in a very good shape. The only thing is you have to change the oil on time and the car will last you for a very long time. It is perfect for short or long trips. You can be a single person or have a family, this car will work for you no matter what. When it comes to snow, it is not that difficult to drive if you know what youre doing. Overall, the car is great and I would recomend it to anyone who can afford it.

Yeah, baby!! - 2000 BMW 5-Series
By Childersb - January 5 - 12:44 amMy wife made me buy it. Honest! I was set on a 2002 Lexus IS300. Boy, was she ever right! There is just no comparison between the two. This is by far a classier, more powerful (and expensive) animal of a car! And, I bought it with17K miles for $10K below book. Yeah, baby!! I bought an Extended Warranty for $2400 and have gotten $2000 worth of use from it. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THESE CARS!! As has been said, repairs are expensive -every time. Though, I have had no major issues with this car. I put Bridgestone Potenza SO-3 Pole Position tires - $1Kfor 4 - 20K miles a set - on this car. It LOVES the rain, almost better than the dry road. I LOVE THIS CAR!

2000 528i Sport - 2000 BMW 5-Series
By mhardey - August 20 - 2:00 amIve owned this car since new, and after three and one-half years and 108,000 miles still feels like a new car. The ride on the sport suspension is solid as a rock with Bridgestone Pole Position S-03s it goes around corners like its on rails, yet is quiet on the highway. At a steady 65 mph will deliver 32+ mpg. Outstanding for a car that can do 0-60 in under 8 seconds and is capable of cruising all day at 90 mph with incredible comfort.

Allens critique - 2000 BMW 5-Series
By BMWfool - August 16 - 2:00 amThis car is a gas to drive. Responsive and solid. Feels and handles like a sports car. Now the bad news: be prepared to be raped by your local BMW service dept. They assume all owners are rich and do not care about price. My dealer was charging my wife $125 for an oil change!(Try $8 a qt. for Mobil 1 that can be had at parts stores for under $6) Routine repairs are always $800 to $1,000. I have all the service records and will be happy to share the news.I will buy another when pigs learn to fly. My 01 Corvette is faster,way cooler and I get the oil changed for $40.

2000 540i 6-spd. - 2000 BMW 5-Series
By El Jefe - July 2 - 2:00 amFantastic, fantastic car. Elegant and luxurious, but crack the whip and you can get places in a hurry. Doesnt handle or feel like a 3,800 lb. car. I had a 99 M3 for three years and loved that rig, but this one can essentially do everything that car could, while offering more room and many more standard features. Too bad BMW lost focus and is now turning out hideous designs and chasing after segments they should never bother touching.

worth every penny - 2000 BMW 5-Series
By mieciu - July 1 - 2:00 amMy first, definitely not the last.. I left it for a service and got a Chevy Tahoe as a loaner. What a difference in steering. I could not go straight! Once back in my BMW I felt like being bolted to the road. Great overall smooth ride except sharp bumps (those joints on a concrete highway).

FUN...at a price - 2000 BMW 5-Series
By Susieb - June 23 - 2:00 amWhat a great car to drive...for the first 80,000 miles. Since then, one thing after another has started to fail, and of course, it costs a fortune each time. If money isnt an issue to you, I would recommend this car to anyone. You cant beat the adrenaline rush of dropping a gear at 80mph and feeling the car jump forward!
