Pros: Truly the "ultimate driving machine" A fantastic high performance vehicle for silly money (Second hand)
Cons: Not a lot! Well, maybe the trunk space.
The Bottom Line: A fantastic high performance vehicle for silly money (Second hand)
I recently changed my taxi. (For the second time this year!) My old car was a BMW 525TDS which I'd run for about 3 years (and about 90,000 miles) practically trouble free, so my first choice of vehicle when looking about for a change of car ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: sporty, fast, zippy, safe, luxurious
Cons: cup holders
The Bottom Line: Comfortable, fast, peppy. Feels less luxurious than Mercedes in some aspects. It is much more of a driver's car, though.
See also my review of the new 745i (2002).
Through 8 months of driving the BMW 540i, I've come to love the car.
I bought the car because of its sportiness, luxurious feel, and safety features and record. Because I like the...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Spacious, comfortable, great ride, super handling in a wagon.
Cons: Some body rattles in the tail gate.
The Bottom Line: A very comfortable tourer especially with the additional space of the wagon.
Interior space is quite generous, especially for rear seat passengers. The Leather seats are firm and comfortable on long drives, with plenty of thigh support. The three driver memory seat is great for multi-driver families. The seats, steering wheel and ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Superb handling, workmanship/quality, reponsiveness, engine, interior, and looks
Cons: Sound system and Navigator User Interface.
Absolutely the best car in its class, short of the 540i and the M5 of course, but then again those are in their own class by themselves :) High class automobile with the best sport precision handling and a great ride. Silky smooth engine with a lot of...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Very fast, smooth transmission, very luxorious
Cons: Price!
A harmony of luxury and power make this perhaps the most desireable car in the BMW line-up, short of the ludicrously expensive M5.
A 4.4L V8 engine making almost 300 horses and over 350 ft/lbs of torque mated to a five-speed auto-stick...

Pros: Addictive V8, performance, Versatility
Cons: Price, Space, Price
I have had three previous 540i, this is my 4th 540i (and 4th BMW). I needed a car that can accomodate my 3 dogs (little ones), and possibly kids down the road. I also wanted a car that can fit 4 sets of golf clubs, and still go pretty fast, and this is...

Pros: Drives awesome, looks awesome, is awesome.
Cons: potentially expensive to maintain
I bought a '99 528i last year (99). I really really love it. I think the BMW sports package (an additional $2K) is a MUST. You get 17' spoke-rims, ~slightly~ lowered body, anti-roll bar under the hood, sports steering wheel, and the sports interior...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Very Fast, Solid safe feel, Excellent in poor weather.
Cons: Expensive to fix, cupholders are badly engineered. CD Player not standard Equip.
The Bottom Line: A serious drivers car. It seats 5, but was built for the driver alone. Beware of high mileage due to always wanting to take this car everywhere you go.
$39,000 for a used car is a load, but after a year of driving, I think it was quite reasonable. Get into this car and you automatically put yourself in the top 2% of true road performance vehicles. On top of that, you do it in a 4-door salon car where...

Pros: Very dependable. Plenty of power.
Cons: ok, the cup holders stink
The Bottom Line: BMW 528i is in a class of it's own.
I just bought a 1999 BMW 528i with 50k miles. This car is wonderful. Feels like a new car, very solid and NO creaks or strange vibrations. Ok the 540i has tons of power, yet the 528i sports plenty of horses at 190. Jumping on a California speedway, or...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No 
Pros: Great long trip car. Looks great.
Cons: Seldom fit for long drives. A reliability let down.
The Bottom Line: Pass. There are other cars with credible reliability and driving manners to suffer my experience. No level of performance, ultimate or otherwise, can make up for this basic disappointment.
This car was purchased from an executive colleague in great shape, with original warranty time and miles remaining and seemed as a great initial introduction to the better German automobiles. The plan being to drive it for a few years while in its prime...

Pros: handling, style, interior
Cons: kind of a pimpmobile, but hey pimps get the ladies right?
HAHAHAHA now when i double the legal limit, the cops won't catch me! 282hp makes an impressive statement in a car with handling this tight.
This is a car to consider when your tired of the Integra's around town getting the best of you - that's what...
