I second that! I have a 2003 BMW 530i e60. 450,000 km on it. Drives excellent and very powerful! super reliable cars. mine has the m54b30 engine. more reliable than the n52b30. normal service nothing major. best cars hands down!
Thanks Vincent for commenting! We were pretty new to the reviewing game at this point, please forgive our lack of the correct lingo, we can assure you we know its an inline 6!
The last good looking 5 series. Finally BMW has managed to not build pretty cars any longer. After the death of the last impressive 7 Series in the early 2000`s the 5 is dead too.
i think the f10 is pretty sexy too. new 7 series sucks in looks, and dont mention the new 3 series, lol its so ugly. i really liked the BMW F01 7 series in looks, e60 is sexy as well and e92 is also nice.
Hehe. Pre facelift? This is the facelift LCI model that has been made from 2007 until the last modelyear. You can recognize this model by the new front and rear lights, the new electronic gear shifter, more powerful engines, and if you have a 2009 or later, the new CIC iDrive system that can also be found in early F10/F11 models.
I missed what year this model is. I think this car is for me. I don't need the all wheel & drive two turbos with even more maintenance.I am a sucker for the eyelash tailights lol.
Thanks for the comment! First of all it all comes down to personal preference but we'll try and help. The 5 is based on an older chassis which could hinder reliability in the long run however they're all pretty solid. The 5 also has more kit as standard and feels more refined to drive. The 3 is newer and lighter with better fuel efficiency (model depending). Hope we could help!
But the 2004 bmw 5 series cost around 6k-8k ( in Florida ) while the 2006 bmw 325i cost around 7k-10k .. I like the 325i because of the size but the 2004 bmw 5series has more features and is cheaper ...but I think im gonna go with the 3 series but the 5 series if I can't get the 3 series ..thanks for your help
Thanks for the comment. We appreciate your feedback. The 5 series is definitely one hell of a car, and we do think very highly of BMW as a brand. In saying this we try to be as factual as possible, we're sorry that the 550i wasn't mentioned, but seeing as we were reviewing the 530i we didn't see it as a necessity. We hope you enjoyed the rest of the video.
maybe on your, but this e60 in this video does not have xenon, this headlight are just halogen with lens. The facelifted e60 halogen have lens like xenon.
and just a heads up for you 5 series buyers, buy 08 -10 they have the face lift head lamps , up-graded door panels and Idrives and stiffer suspention along with the up-dated shifter, stay away from 04-05 545i they are nothing but problems 06-07 improved all problems, 08-10 more bang for a few thousand more but problem free!!
+crazystang69 do you have any experiance with the 08 525 -530i ? becuas ei tent to buy one but i heard they have a poblem with the transmission and the water pump , and as a student i might not be able to maintaine that
I've never drove one, but this is my favorite BMW 5 series model. Just beautiful.

Ditto; 2006 525i - my ride for 15 yrs & still chugging .
Good review mate, ignore the trolls. We all make mistakes - including them. Keep up the good work.
Dude. A V6?! In a BMW?! Shame on you. Always an in line 6 cyl. in BMW's. The V shaped engines are 8 or 10 cyl. in the e60
you're right, the bmw should be taken from this dude, like permanently.

Thanks Vincent for commenting! We were pretty new to the reviewing game at this point, please forgive our lack of the correct lingo, we can assure you we know its an inline 6!
Lingo? It´s like saying the black car is red..
@@Joachimfico I think he means he just misspoke
Inline 6, not V6
not a bad first review keep up the hard work it pays off eventually
It hurts how you slam everything in this poor BMW. And the E60's iDrive is as easy as a kid's toy. You are a young man, after all.
Good video...I own a 2008 528i and I love it. Fast enough for what need. We're not race car drivers. Thanks!!
Lol not with that attitude!
Nice car i love BMW 525i
Beautiful review. 10/10
Nice job review in the dark 😩

The vehicle in this video is an LCI model.
“It has air suspension” it does not.
looks like a generation younger than the equivalent age E class
Hey man would you recommend this car or a 2006 bmw 325i ? I'm planning on getting my first car soon ,but this car is so updated for a 2004 model .
Thanks for the comment!

chris flank No worries at all, glad we could help. The 3 series would have to be our pick out of those two, however there are always variations.
+Featured on Red -but the 5-series maintenance is way more expensive compared to the 3-series, unless you do the maintenance yourself
That is an inline 6 not a V6.
Why did he not FLASH his headlights at the prat coming the other way with full beam on ?? Better still stop him and smash them ???
So he borrowed someone's car to do a night time car park review?
does a 2004 have hud?
You didn't mention the 550i. I lost all respect for you after that. I thought you might have actually been a BMW enthusiast.

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+John Acosta WAHHHHH !!! Time for your nap John.
All the 8 cylinder models got completely left out mentioned the 4 and 6 cylinders but left out the 8s
you should play some grandturismo 6 and then come back en talk about cars
this e60 does not have xenon headlight, this headlight are just the halogen with lens on the lowbeam
They are Xenon in my 08 528.. Came standard.
maybe on your, but this e60 in this video does not have xenon, this headlight are just halogen with lens. The facelifted e60 halogen have lens like xenon.
Why with this piano background music?
If it has a spare tyre does it not come with runflats as a standard?
Thanks heaps for the comment! It absolutely does come with runflats as standard.
Simon Curtis no
Boy you really glow in the dark 😂 great review tho
I have this car in gold, i love it to death. It is a bitch sometimes though because of the weight and size of it but makes up for it in other ways.

I think the 07 started the face lift and the 08 updated everything else.
I cant believe who on the earth in BMW has decided that that steering wheel looks nice in an interior like E60's... What the...?
