"I purchesed my 528I at BMW dealership about nine months ago with 59,000 miles on it. Ever since I did not have a major problem with this vehicle, except regular maintnance like: oil changes or worn brake pads. Unlike other cars, the 528I has many standart fetures like: Dynamic Stbility Control, Automanual transmision, Interval Monitoring System, Anti-theft, and speed sensitive steering, and all of them work excellent. What makes this car exceptional is steering, (because it is what struck me the most between beemer and other cars). As soon as you get behind the wheel of BMW, you can tell that it has stiffer and more accurate steering than other cars, which are equiped in dengorouselly delicate and too sensitive steering assist. The 528I is an exceptional car with unique standart fetures, and I would definetelly recommend it to a friend!"

"I bought my 2000 528i (auto transmission) used a few years ago with 78k. I now have over 140k on the vehicle. Mine has the factory M-performance package which includes 17" BBS rims, lower suspension with tighter spring rate, M-steering wheel, blacked out trim and a few other goodies. Although not the M5, this car has a much more aggressive and sporty look than the stock 528k. A very comfortable, but Euro-firm cruiser. On tight curves, this is where the car is just amazing! Very little body roll for a heavy 4 door sedan, and quite stable both at speed (think emergency lane changes) or carving up a nice back-road somewhere.
The 2.8 V6 is very smooth, and the engine and transmission make a very pleasant, though muted symphony of mechanical music. Stability control eliminates wheel spin during rain or snow, even under full throttle. Very reassuring during bad weather. Power at full throttle doesn't come on strong until about 4000 rpm, but then it pulls effortlessly to redline and each redline shift sound as if it's a manual transmission! At highway speed, when punching it to pass, the auto trans upshifts very quickly, and never hesitates to find the right gear for strong acceleration. It's the perfect balance of performance and excellent gas mileage. In fact, with 4 people, I can easily get at least 28 mpg highway and that's cruising at 70+ easily. Around town, perhaps 18 mpg.
The factory sound system is great, with separate factory subwoofer and separate component speakers, and I really like the orange/red gauge lighting - very easy on the eyes, and looks cool at night! Heated leather seats are very comfortable and hold you nicely during spirited driving. And I love the rain sensing wipers - it's no gimmick, these really work well. The xenon headlamps light the road better than any car I've ever owned - they even level automatically. This car came with power everything, memory seats, telescoping wheel, even the head rests are powered and are set along with your seat/mirror/wheel position preferences.
I've replaced brakes, rotors, tires, etc. but that's expected for a driver's car like this. Had to replace the radiator (left me stranded) and cracked spark plugs (again, stuck on road), but besides these two unfortunate experiences, the car has performed very well.
Other than this, everything works very well after all these miles. I would definitely recommend this car to others. Once you drive a BMW, you'll not want to own anything else!"

"I fell for the hype when I bought my bmw. I was expecting an engineering marvel. What I got was a car that is perhaps the best driving car I've owned. I also got a car that needs frequent repair at premium prices, interior features that are so poorly designed and of substandard quality that they are virtually unusable. I've had my bmw experience. Once was enough."

"I have owned my BMW 528i two years back. It has 85,000 miles and this car has been a dream to own and drive. It has loads of safety features and drives like a car should drive. It's a solid, responsive, road- hugging blast. The inline 6 is throaty and powerful although you won't be pinned to your seat like the V8 540i. Love the leather seats, the electric telescope and tilt. Easy to maintain if you have any car knowledge
Favorite Features
Interior materials are first rate, easy to clean and to keep looking new. Front and side air-bags, traction control sensors and other safety features make this a car you can feel quite safe driving in today's heavy traffic and in poor weather."

"I bought my 528 preowned with 28K miles. At 70,000 miles I replaced brake pads, tires, etc which cost a bit, but these are reasonable wear and tear parts. I think it is an excellent ride and had great style. Once it is paid off I think it is still worth maintaining because of the basic quality and great ride it offers. This car new can cost over $50 K, even if you spend a few grand every few years to maintain it is still less than a new car payment and you are driving a dynamic car."

"Nothing runs like a Bimmer and the 528 is no exception. Be sure you have a good mechanic on hand who won't rip you off. My 528 always seemed top have something little wrong with it and the dealer will take you for everything if you are not careful. Horrible cup holders and the radiator needs to be changed at 100k."

"After retiring from being Sales Manager for a Mercedes-Benz dealer, I went to work part time for a pre-owned european car point, and got my first experience of driving a BMW.
I sold my Mercedes-Benz E Class and bought the 2000 528. Some times I just get in it to drive nowhere in particular. I'm now getting a 2001 530 sport. With my commute, I drive 21,000 miles a year, and I'm loving it! FUN!!!"

"I always liked the looks of the BMW 5 series, however I have found out that this car is much more than looks. It has to be the best all-around vehicle I have ever owned! Full of luxury, plenty of power, and style that turns heads. This car is worth all of 5 stars in my opinion."
