BMW 5-Series: The Mona Lisa, With Zits

Date of Review:  Oct 2, 2006
The Bottom Line: Still the runaway class leader for people who like to drive. Yes, there?s electronic overkill. Yes, iDrive stinks. But in the end, the plusses far outweigh the minuses.
Review: Background

Judging by the scathing professional reviews it s received, you might think that BMW s radically redesigned 5-Series has been a catastrophic flop. You can t miss the new 5-Series, began Car & Driver s January 2004 review,...

Would be perfect without iDrive - BMW 5-series Wagon

Date of Review:  Jan 6, 2006
The Bottom Line: Outstanding luxury wagon. Much more versatile, and in my opinion better looking, than the sedan, creature comforts are truly luxurious. iDrive climate/audio needs to go.
Review: I just returned from a family vacation to Bavaria and Austria, where I was upgraded by Avis (a review in and of itself) to a brand-new BMW 5-series wagon with all the bells and whistles. What an experience.

Tested Vehicle, with key...

What a mess...

Date of Review:  Dec 19, 2006
The Bottom Line: Don't buy it unless you HAVE TO have it.
Review: I am just mind-boggled. This car confuses me and it's frustrating. I only hope I can sum this up in very little writing because I will begin to blab when I get into the details of this... Frankenstein monster...

I have no idea how to put...

2006 525 XI, what a Lemon!

Date of Review:  Apr 16, 2006
The Bottom Line: This car is too much money and too much technology. After all the problems with this car we don't trust it to drive it more than 100 miles from home!
Review: I made the mistake of trading out of an Audi Allroad for this "all wheel drive" 525 XI, hoping to get better fuel mileage with the smaller 6 cylinder engine. Since September this car has been in the shop nearly as long as we've had it to drive!...

excellent awd 530xi

Date of Review:  Sep 5, 2006
The Bottom Line: Buy it. Worth the few buck more than the acura rl, infinity m and the lexus gs300. I'm thrilled. Glad I waited for the 5 with awd.
Review: bmw 530 xi took delivery dec 12, 2006 ordered 11/9/05... delivered as promised. Drove through snowy winter of 2006 with tires as supplied (all weather). Snow tires not needed that season with brand new all weathers. Ride and performance are...

2006 BMW 5 Series

Date of Review:  Feb 12, 2006
Review: BMW has achieved yet again, the best executive saloon in it's class. Following in the footsteps of the E39, the E60 model is just as well balanced as the older car, but far more refined. Fresh new looks and performance to match, you will sit and...
