Side-impact airbags are now available for rear-seat passengers, as is break-resistant glass for the windows and moonroof.

Pros:
  • Sport sedan in a luxury car package. This is a perfect way to spend that new raise.
Cons:

  • Love at first drive - 1998 BMW 5-Series
    By -

    Went into the dealership looking for an SUV, GMC Envoy( car of the year, ye right). Spend hours haggling, till we stumbled on this beemer on the lot, and in an hour I was out of there. I have lived happily ever after. There is something about this car. I just feel the respect everybody has for it, and I respect it too.It is like they are saying, take care of it, we are watching you , we love to watch that car. Of course evedrybody talks about their sister or brother-in-law who has one, I get to say I have one.

    This car drives like sports car and feels like a tank! The solidness of this car is like non other. It has been very reliable and had it in the shop once after the warranty expired for a new thermostat replacement. I would recommend this car to anybody. Its well worth the money spent.

  • A Great Vehicle - 1998 BMW 5-Series

    This vehicle is in the process of being passed down from my parents to me. I only have a permit, but have driven the car and have been living with it for about 4 years. Its so much fun. I think the exterior styling and interior comfort and luxury combined with the performance of its engine make it the best beginners car I could have ever hoped for. We have only had one maintanence problem with the vehicle but it was kind of a Doozy. But otherwise, a near PERFECT car.

  • This car stole my heart! - 1998 BMW 5-Series

    I purchased a brand new 98 528 with the 5 speed and sport package, drove it for 3 years... incredible car! I still miss it and my heart literally stops when I see a familiar artic silver profile on the road with a gray leather interior... just awesome car!

  • Bought one and love it! - 1998 BMW 5-Series

    Lives up to the hype. You will not find a better desinged, bulit, or higher quality sports sedan on the market. I can not think of a single new car that could touch it for the price of a two or three year old 540i.

  • You cant do better than this... - 1998 BMW 5-Series

    A dream to own and drive. The Sport Suspension (rare on a 528i) is a big plus.

  • Nobody Does It Better - 1998 BMW 5-Series

    Heat/AC control awkward, difficult to operate while driving, too long a reach around shifter, otherwise cant beat it, true pleasure to start it up and drive

  • One little problem after another - 1998 BMW 5-Series

    Buy the extended warranty while still under manufacturers warranty and go long. Lots of $400 repairs with bigger ones to come
