    i have a 2000 bmw 528i sedan without sport package and i went to test drive a 2012 bmw 528i, without sport package but it had premium, cold weather, driver assist and it was beautiful. but i noticed something amazing while driving it, it drove exactly the same as my 2000, the feel of the wheel and the way the body flew into a turn was almost identical to my 2000. of course the newer one was a tad tighter and all together "newer" but damn what amazing machines, bmw has mercedes and audi beat!

    I'm glad they've added wood paneling and 21st century features for $60,000.

    @TheOrdep10 I know that BMW's are fantastic cars. But they just don't strike my fancy and theyre too common these days. I appreciate BMW's for their superior performance, but I would never own one.

    Even if I had the money, I wouldn't get a BMW 5 series. Not for the reliability stats but for the fact that I live in a yuppie town and I see tons of them on the road every day.

      Franz Von-Beck, on some BMWs when you brake hard, two extra brake lights come on to warn people behind you to watch out.

      Blame the transmission choice. The fantastic 8-speed ZF auto shaves at least a half second off of the 0-60 and 1/4m times versus the 6-speed manual.

  • @abelucious
    @abelucious 9 років тому +7

    the 528 is to sluggish while the 550 is to costy, the 535i with the manual transmission seems like the perfect choice,
