This Year's Model Updates:

Additional equipment is the only thing that distinguishes the 2007 BMW 5 Series from last year's model. Heading up the list is a standard four-year subscription to BMW Assist, a communications system that automatically contacts your BMW dealer when your car needs service, and summons help in the event of a collision. In addition, there's now an auxiliary input jack for MP3 players and optional high-definition radio, which provides CD-quality sound on FM stations that broadcast in HD. Vehicles with the Sport package get a new steering wheel design and 20-way adjustable multicontour front seats. Finally, 5 Series buyers have the option of getting BMW's Night Vision system, which uses a thermal imaging camera to detect obstacles up to 1,000 feet in front of the car.

Pros:
  • Exceptional ride and handling dynamics, smooth and vigorous engines, premium cabin furnishings, precision build quality, strong resale value.
Cons:

  • Beautiful Car - 2007 BMW 5-Series
    By -

    My husband just bought this car and I fell in love with it the moment I got into it. Such an attractive vehicle and it drives beautifully. I dont know a lot about cars, but I have driven a Jaguar, Mercedes, Land Rover and Volvo and none of them comes close.

  • Bye Bye Benz - 2007 BMW 5-Series
    By -

    I have owned several Mercedes and thought I would never switch. I went to get another Mercedes and their emphasis on cost cutting is apparent. I drove the 530xi and was blown away. Interior appointments are outstanding, fit and finish exceptional and the driving experience is beyond compare. This car is absolutely dead stable (and nearly silent) at 130 mph with amazing handling even in heavy rain. You can get an E-Class Mercedes for less, but there is just no comparison. The 530xi is worth the few extra bucks - it is clear that this is still a pure German built vehicle (like Porsche).

    A drive in the 550i is an experience of quality, satisfaction and exclusivity. Superior handling and braking, comfortable and refined interior, run-flat tires. Harman Kardon Logic 7 system sports 13 speakers (including two subwoofers), surround sound simulation, Digital Sound Processing (DSP).

  • Munichen Cruiser - 2007 BMW 5-Series
    By -

    Picked up in Munich, and hit the Autobahn although keeping break-in RPMs below 4,500, was still able to enjoy high speed cruising. Ended in Naples with 1250 miles a week later. Delivered to USA in early November. Currently 6,500 miles and enjoying more every day. This is a unique car, after driving 1995 Audi S6 for ten years, 175,000 miles, this car had to please me alot. So far, it has delivered. No real issues, although iDrive technology learning curve is initially steep. Mounted snow tires on new wheels to blast around this winter, and cant wait to return to summer driving conditions. Likely the best ride for the sporty minded sedan generation.

  • Truely An Ultimate Driving Machine! - 2007 BMW 5-Series

    I bought my 550i just a few weeks ago, and what an incredible ride that car, let me tell you. Not only is it POWERFUL, putting you back in your seat, but it stops on a dime. Having a "racing" background I can tell you that you need to get the 5 series for its handling and power delivery. Everything else, just about is a plus. The monster power in the 550i is invigorating! Have fun! Please just make sure that the Homelink garage door opener works before you drive it off the dealer. Mine needed to be changed 3 days later.

  • A car with soul - 2007 BMW 5-Series

    Im 41 with two kids. This is the perfect car for me it is fun to drive in any situation. There is plenty of room for all the hockey equipment. I have not had one problem with the car.

  • Best Car Yet - 2007 BMW 5-Series
    By -

    I love my new 2007 525i, I previously had a 2004 325i and this one is just much more roomier and comfortable and I love the Black Sapphire exterior with sand color interior combination. I do have a little difficulty with the I controller, but Im sure Ill get the swing of it. Car drives great!

  • Fantastic 5 - 2007 BMW 5-Series
    By -

    This 2007 is a replacement for my 2003 5 series. I thought the 2003 was the finest car I had driven.The 2007 is so much better in every way! Also iDrive is quite easy if you take the time and read the directions and practice using it in your garage.

  • Best BMW I ever owned! Autobahn Proven!! - 2007 BMW 5-Series
    By -

    The car is wonderful! I picked it up in Munich as part of BMWs European Delivery Program and subsequently drove it 1,000 miles on the Autobahn throughout Germany and Austria this past December. It cruises at 130 mph just as easily as it does at 65 or 70 mph. It is actually more comfortable to drive at higher speeds. As with my past BMW, it has a tendancy to want to pull you faster down the road - like a race horse always wanting to go ever faster - be careful to keep an eye on the speedometer! The interior is very nicely appointed and well equipped. The iDrive is not as cumbersome as others have claimed. I think the iDrive becomes an issue for those drivers who are not tech savvy.

  • Solid - 2007 BMW 5-Series
    By -

    Great car. You will not be disappointed. Solid handling, fun to drive, great stereo and I love the Sirius radio. A drivers car. What more could you ask for? Will definitely be a repeat customer. Take the plunge.
