2012 BMW 5 Series

Perfect balance between sport and luxury

By mike (GA) on Saturday, May 18, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 30,000

Pros: "Luxury and sport"

Cons: "Stereo sound not great"

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

"I was looking for a mid-sized luxury sport sedan. Test drove Mercedes E550, Jaguar XF, Audi A6 and Lexus GS 460. Was open to buying any one of those. But, the BMW was just simply the best. Have had it 2 years and have had no problems to date. The only mild negative is the stereo sound. Its above average, but should be better. The best feature is just how perfect it balances luxury and sportiness."

to much lag and more lag

By TYRONE (FL) on Sunday, May 12, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 49,000

Pros: "I believe the safety features are good."

Cons: "Run flat, front bumper too fragile"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 7

"I almost hit someone in the REAR because I gently hit gas pedal and nothing happens. I press a little harder and the car takes off like a rocket. I am willing to bet that some day I will hit someone in the rear. Fo this reason, I would not recommend this car. By the way, I owned one (5 series) for 14 years and this was the reason I did not buy lexus. I wanted to stick with the evil I know. Hopefully, this wont be a little too much evillag, lag, lag"

excellent car

By Chick (CA) on Tuesday, May 07, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 12,000

Pros: "fun to drive and gets good gas mileage."

Cons: "no complaints"

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

"this is my second bmw and it is a big improvement over my 2011 328 coupe. I love the responsiveness of the twin turbo 6 and the great gas mileage is a much appreciated bonus. My sedan is very nimble and corners without leaning. I think the design is superlative and the finish both inside and exterior is tops. I will definitely make my next car a BMW also."

"Fuel economy is amazing for this car ( 32+ highway). Turbo is seamless. Big improvement in run flat tires. I highly recommend the car if you are ready to spend nearly 60k."
