"I've owned my 2007 530I for 4 years. I've only had two mechanical issues with the car. I had a bird hit my coolant radiator and had to have it replaced and a wheel bearing went out. Both cost about $1600 combined to have fixed. General Maintenance is higher than a normal car of any origin but you can do it yourself and save big. Other than these few things, this car has been fun to drive. It has been one of the better cars I have owned. I had a Honda before this with 190,000 miles and not issues so I was concerned about reliability and it has been good. I would recommend this car to anyone interested. I'm going to buy a used one for my daughter."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 89,000

Pros: "Awesome to drive, sound syste,, nav, trunk space,"

Cons: "Siderail storage should be removed.just a catchall"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I bought this car used with 30k on it in 2008. I now have 89k and still drives tight and fast. BMW came out with most modern day features a long time ago, only one missing in mine is iPod integration and is my only beef. Car is fast and nimble for its weight, comfortable and great looking. I am now looking at buying the latest model 550i (used of course) because these 5 series are tanks and great to drive. Well designed sound system, navigation, and features make this car a joy to drive."
