Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
What’s new
BMW improves its 540i by making a six-speed manual transmission available. That option includes 12-way power sport seats, a sport suspension and beefy antiroll bars. Unfortunately, all models lose their V-rated tires in favor of wimpy H-rated tires in an attempt to improve fuel economy.

Excellent road car, great performance

I just got my first BMW A 1995 540i with the original engine block Nikasil. Never was replaced. Only has 80k on it. Runs JUST FINE!! I love this car it handles great, wish I could buy another. Great with turns, has POWER... Had the local BMW shop check the engine out and said its still strong and good. The whole Nikasil thing was blown out of the water, some were affected while others … were not. I will never go back to a honda again thats for sure. Love this car will and go to the grave with it.

Bought this car used on a lease
forfeiture. Strongest car I had ever
driven at the time. Used it for
business for 2 years then gave it to my
wife for our personal use. Big
horsepower on a short, heavy body.
Turns great like all big german cars.
Seats are comfortable. Leg room short
for adults in the rear. Only complaints
are the weak front center arm rests and
the … lack of drink holders.
Do I need a new mechanic?

1995 BMW 5 Series 525i 4dr Sedan
After reading all these stellar reviews I'm beginning to wonder if I need a new mechanic. I bought this car used, 6 years ago. It's pushing 200,000 miles, but I hear these cars can last forever. It shudders HARD when I drive between 45-55 mph, drivers side window regulator regularly craps out, belts fall off, has a severe oil leak that can't seem to be fixed, and a coolant light that … beeps at me no matter what I do (so I either leave my lights on, because I've grown to ignore the beep, or run the risk of overheating because it cries wolf all the time). Interior display has dimmed to the point of invisibility, and the following parts melted off: hood ornament, side mirror, interior door frame.
