I have thoroughly enjoyed this car. I have owned VWs, MB, American made cars, etc. This car has been the most fun on a daily basis. Even with the mileage topping 100k, it is still fun to drive. In shopping for a new vehicle, it is hard to find something that compares to the over-all driving experience. The only complaint is that at 100k, all sorts of gremlins have come out to play. Major and expensive repairs have been necessary. This is NOT a maintanence free vehicle, especially at higher miles.
200,000 and going strong

amazing and perfect car for me. just turned 200k. least expensive car i ever owned. i replaced the radiator and the a/c compressor,and 2 lower control arms and that is all. everything else original parts. drives like no other. a true autobahn cruiser at its best. i have a great bmw independent mechanic used exclusively. not a squeek or rattle to be found,drives like new literally. bmw at its best. always run on 87 regular but always top tier fuel. i know someone who has a '98 530i with 249000 miles and has never replace a single part! he is in florida with far better roads than here in the northeast

I am on my fourth BMW. All great cars. Have had some (very few) minor problems. Very dependable cars.

Just brought home my 02 Certified Pre- owned 525i after I traded in my Z3. I can't believe it's the same engine. It does lake a little bit, but this car is SUPER responsive. I have the Sport + Premium Package. Nice. I must agree...the cup holders aren't worth the plastic their made of. (COME ON BMW). Overall...a step up from the Z3. I LOVE this car
Buy the extended warranty

Bought the car with 19K on it. within a week it had a complete electronic failure and lost all systems. Fortunately it was under warranty. Since then, have has several expensive repairs, expansion tank, radiator, Alternator, secondary cooling fan, and miscellaneous other repairs. Always over $500 per visit. Nice car but always something breaking.
