BMW 1957-2017Change

styling is just so so for this model-year.
i don't like the tail/rear light design
front is ok.

car is well designed interior
electronics start to go for an old car like this (gremlins), dash lights turn on and off for no reason. windshield wiper sometimes stops working in the middle of a drive, which is dangerous when raining and you're going fast.

seat adjustments stopped working on passenger side
had to replace coolant pipes and thermostat. fixing at a dealership is expensive!

great huge monster of a car.
classic and beautiful design exterior and comfortable interior
had a problem with the transmission going limp when cold

parking brake does not work in this car. could be sensor or the parking brake is constantly engaged. difficult to tell.

back/rear interior is a bit trashed

front passenger seat adjustment controls are stuck

something seems to be wrong with the engine-acceleration/deceleration I felt a jolt that was unexpected

ive test-driven better 745s

This car ride fantastic like never before! On the highway its so peaceful I swear, and you'll get anywhere in time.

This car I got was great, It was fuel efficient and the confort is amazing. It goes fast and I rely on it to get to work on time

Incredible vehicle with plenty of power as well as great fuel economy. Very luxurious with everything you'd expect from a BMW

I recently purchased one of these, and LOVE it! Handles like a sports car, awesome on fuel, great tourque on the hills, and nice pull around town. A++

AMAZING RIDE, SPORTY, COMFY, ALL AROUND AMAZING. Go and test drive one of these and see for yourself. highway and city fuel economy is at about 11L/100 which is pretty good for a sports car

This car provides an amazing experience. It accelerates quickly and has superior handling. While BMW is more expensive then many cars, you will get an experience unmatched by others. It's worth the cost!

Extremely comfortable daily driver with all of the bells and whistles. Crazy comfy 12-way adustable sport bolstered seats and lots of power when you want it. Superb handling that is fun to drive and incredibly fuel efficient. 800-900++ kms. per 60L tank on the highway

Been driving BMW's most of my adult life. Always wanted an M car but couldn't afford the cost involved. I finally found a mint condition 2010 X5 M at a great price. The power is exceptional, comfort over the top and handling like a sports car (in a SUV chassis). So much technology in the newer BMW's. Aside from a few minor glitches that have been resolved (vacuum leak from PVC) it's been a dream to drive. Fuel consumption, if you don't hammer the throttle at every stop light it is comparable to my old X5 4.4 - throttle down, the beast is guzzling the gas faster than Norman with a pint from Cheers!

Overall, very satisfying to own and drive. Take care of it, and it will take care of you. Maintenance can be expensive and more finicky than non M cars. Parts are harder to get or not in stock. Best to have a back up vehicle in the family in case. ; )

But I knew that going into this purchase. It's an "M" - what's not to LOVE! Handling is precise and predictable. Performance is top tier. Fit and finish is superb. The fuel is not so bad when driven conservatively for it's benefits (power), you see the gauge drop when hammered on! Would highly recommend to any sport driver enthusiast. They do require more meticulous attention to proper service and up-keep. So much technology involved. Thanks BMW for such an exciting Road Warrior!

Great car to drive, looks great both from inside and out but this car needs a LOT of maintenance. Much more than I'd expect from BMW

It was a great car to drive smoke good on gas and very reliable gets you from place to place but many problems never had to bring it to the shop and had alot of space for trips or family drives

Riduculously fast car for the price point. Twin turbo, 5 speed manual. Leave the id*ot drivers in the dust with just a tap on the pedal. Comfortable ride, overall great car. Pricey to fix, eats gas.

I bought this vehicle not long ago. I drove it on a rainy day with an average speed of 50mph. I hit the traction control to maximize traction control, but the vehicle started to act weird. First, It locked up my control wheel. then it started to roll left. I was driving alone so i assumed that there was more weight on the left and thats why it rolled left. The vehicle was designed to not let you place any control input to fix the left roll. I hit curve so hard that it almost took my life. I will never trust BMW traction control system again. If you own this vehicle and you live in a area where it rains a lot, I suggest you sell your BMW right a way. Its not worth it to risk your life for some beautiful interior designs.

2009 model purchased CPO from a BMW dealer in 2011 with 31000km. Review written in 2017 at 150000km.

I was nervous about the luxury German reliability stories…Thankfully my experience is only partly true. Purchased the extended RFT warranty and had to use it with a defective tire within the first 20000km.

The RWD experience is as fun as advertised. The 230hp is modest compared to many modern sport compacts and sedans out there but the refinement, transmission and power delivery are among the best in the industry – Same can be said for cabin comfort and refinement. No issues from 2 adults in the rear seat for space. Trunk also generous for the vehicle class. Winter driving not the best, but manageable – I will avoid RWD until I start shopping for a car exclusively for fun. Interior is “Spartan”, but functional. BMW iDrive (in this 2009 model) was overall well executed. Exterior design still quite sharp after 8 years IMO.

Dealer warranty wasn’t always the most pleasant – You will likely be nickled and dimed and denied full repair at first assessment. But if you have tact, you can get them to fully honor the written agreement. Wear and tear maintenance is pricey and required more frequently than mainstream brands, but I think the trade-off is worth it. The biggest blemish on this experience was an alternator that required replacement at 70000km. It required 3 dealer trips and some pushback, but I got it covered under warranty (was told that it would have been an $1800 fix). Also, both tail lamps required replacement inside of 100000km ($350 each), some intermittent single stereo speaker cutout noted around 90000km, non-functioning AC at 140000km (low cost band aid fix).

Bottom line: High price, high expectations, and after 6 years and 120000km of ownership, I am very satisfied with the experience.

i have owned the car for 2 years, the only problem i have had was the water pump. it rides amazing and has tons of pep. parts and repairs are readily available. the AWD system keeps you onteh road dunring rhe crappy winter months.

A very solid, comfortable car that is fun to drive. A great highway cruiser. Lots of room for passengers and a big trunk. This car has lots of power and they run for years and years.

I purchased this vehicle from a used car dealer in late 2012; the car had one previous owner. When I was car shopping, I was looking for a used late-model Honda or Toyota, but this vehicle was available for about the same price. Although it was over five years old, I was quite impressed with it. Since I have owned the vehicle, it has mostly run very well; there was one incident when the electric water pump suddenly failed, requiring an expensive service, but other than that, the vehicle has been quite reliable. The fuel economy was better than I had expected for such a heavy vehicle. The engine is powerful and the ride is smooth, even at high speed. All in all, this is probably the most enjoyable car I have ever driven.

Car of my dreams. It has a 3.7L 300HP dual turbo engine. It eats gas. I can pass anyone who drives slow. I barely need to touch the gas for the car to fly. It is high maintenance and requires grade a Fuel

Have had it for a long time, and no complaints. typical car maintenance but with luxury services. Drives great and comfortably. Pricing is very good for the kind of car you are getting,

1988 BMW 325i , very good on maintance for a car this age , well built, out last time on rust .. drives well even in winter condition , with optional hard top , since it has heated seats and ABS.

I loved this car as my first car. i took care of it like my baby, if you keep it well maintained it will last you a very long time. beautiful inside and out.

Long lasting amazing views 9.11/10, Certianly worth a buy if you have the money got it discounted and don't regret it
