A Perfect Car For Cruising The Autobahn — Bought the car with 156000 km on the clock, sold it at 240000 km. Had the car for 3 years. Drove it down to Slovenia when I worked there, 10 hours straight from Kiel to Ljubljana. Maxed out at 230 km/hour on the autobahn. A very comfortable car for long distance driving. 5 speed manual.

Bmw 5er — Performance- could use more powerful engine but current is fine also. Build quality- Built well, smaller repairs are common. Appearance- looks of people are guaranteed. CoO- it could be cheaper. Fun Factor- happy face is a must have with this car.

Comfortable luxary BMW

Nice Luxary Bmw, Rather Expensive To Own But Very Comfortable — Its a classy well equipped BMW. Features many luxury's not found in a lot of cars today. Very comfortable ride that can be switched with the flip of a switch to sport mode, not the most powerful car in the world but BMW had class, luxary, and comfort in mind when they designed it and of course it handles awesome because after all, it is a BMW - The ultimate driving machine.

Best Car I've Ever Owned! — My Beemer ROCKS! It is still classy, and definitely reliable for a 15 year old car. There are a few problems...electric windows have needed a little plastic thing replaced, and my fan motor for the heater/ac doesn't work anymore. However, the overall performance for a car with over 150,000 miles is incredible!

The sound of the engine

Reliability, probably made on a monday morning.

The Thought Of Owning One Is Better Than Actually Owning One. — Liked the sound of the engine, the cruise controle and the automatic gearbox. I disliked the reliability of the engine, the reliability of the gearbox, the failing aircon and high prices of parts. Fuel economy isn't influenced by the driver and how much he presses the throttle.

Get One, It Lasts Forever — I expect to get at least 100,000 more miles on the car. Last 525 topped out over 200k. Car runs perfect, has a timing chain, not a belt, which was the earlier downfall. Of course need to fix other wear related things.

Bmw 525i Touring — BMW 525 I Touring. Not much to say about it really, pretty dull, expensive, good brakes, bad interior. Very, very big though.Makes for a good load lugger which is the only reason I bought it. Very reliable and runs very well.
