Overview & Reviews
New 528i and 540i sport wagons debut, all 5 Series models achieve low emission vehicle (LEV) status, and consumers will find extensive new standard and optional equipment on the cars.
- 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.

The Ultimate Drivers Car - 1999 BMW 5-Series
By KernelPanic - September 7 - 2:00 amThis is my 3rd BMW and 1st 5 series. I simply love this car. It is well-appointed, seats five comfortably and drives like a demon. The 4.4l engine is built like a Swiss watch, and can easily run up to red-line with no hint of roughness. The low-end torque is outstanding as well. With the 6 speed and sport differential the car hits 65 MPH in second gear in around 5 seconds. The sound system is excellent as well.

Im *STILL* in love... - 1999 BMW 5-Series
By Kimo - September 5 - 2:00 amIf you love to drive and can handle the price, you should own this car. There is nothing else (except the M5) like it. Its fast, tight, refined and inspring to drive. After 16,000 miles I still get excited every morning when I back out of the driveway and head out onto the road.

Drivers choice - 1999 BMW 5-Series
By FatCat - August 20 - 2:00 amThis car is simply the best. Its gives a great driving experience and serves as a practical car, with four doors and spacious trunk. Power is excellent with the V8, and control is spot on, the big tires plant themselves to the road and just dont let go. I dread the day, many years from now when Ill have to give up this car.

Upgrade to newer year - 1999 BMW 5-Series
By bwilljr - August 2 - 2:00 amI just moved up from my 97 to a 99 528IA. So sweet. I was looking at new Nissan Altimas, used Volvo S-80s, and Infinity G35s. Bottom line - they are not the ultimate drivig machine. Buy a ceritifed used vehicle, beat on the dealer, do your homework on price (TMV with Edmunds and look at Car & Drivers websote as well as Kelly Blue Book on line), sell your used car, and take advantage of BMW financing (Im in at 3.9 60 months, 100%). You will not be sorry.

Simply the BEST - 1999 BMW 5-Series
By Boca - July 23 - 2:00 amThis is my third 5 series beamer and nothing comes close to the proformance, style and comfort of my 540I. Equiped with every option including the 6 speed manual transmission that will put you back in the sit in each gear. The low end torque allows me to limit the down shifts and still leave me a lot of power.

Awesome Car - 1999 BMW 5-Series
By rapids23 - June 7 - 2:00 amThis car is serious. I just bought it last month and I have never been more impressed with a 4 door sports car. I had turned in my SL500 and this car is everything that car was (except for the convertible!) and I can put a baby seat in the back!

Driving is fun again - 1999 BMW 5-Series
By Jim Meyer - May 30 - 2:00 amWhat a pleasure it is to drive again. This car preforms like a precision machine with creature comforts beyond my wildest dreams. All of that and reasonable operating costs too. It was a financial leap worth making,a true definition of the word value.

Its been a ride - 1999 BMW 5-Series
By moth123dd - May 15 - 2:00 amGreat performance, fun to drive, dont live in New England, however. Bad in snow/ice, even a very little. Interior design is good, love the radio controls on the steering wheel. Cup holders have broken off five times, windshield wipers have stopped working in the rain, front molding has fallen off.

Dream Car! - 1999 BMW 5-Series
By rogreal - May 8 - 2:00 amFar & away the best car Ive ever owned.This car is not a Lexus. You feel every curve, the engine is inspiring and the reliability is unmatched.
