Pros

Great driving handling. Quick response, powerful and very safe...

Cons

The fuel economy is not the best, but not bad either.

I Am In Love With This Car. — After driving my 550i for over 3 years it will be hard to ever buy any other car brand. This german machine has been built not only to last for many years, but to be reliable as well. The shifting paddles comes very handy when driving in roads and freeways.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

What A Car Should Be — Like most aspect of the car. Fit and finish is great. Nice push from a 6 with twin turbo. Big enough to enjoy a trip with the family and fun enough for me to get up early on the weekend and go for a drive when no one wants to come.

Primary Use: Family transportation

Pros

It's not my M6 which I miss dearly, but it has some pep and gets 28mpg v the 12 I got on the M!

Cons

It's not my M6. I wish they had an M5 with AWD. I need the 4 doors now.

Very Nice Car — Summed it up with the pros and cons. But I need 40 words to post. So I also like the color options and the sound system is decent. Also really like the Winter Package now that I moved from GA to MA.

Bmw 528 Ix — Great car, good performance, good acceleration, handling. Build Quality - solid German engineering. Very reliable and no repair issues. Quality interior and exterior design. A fun car to drive. BMW cost of ownership = $0 maintenance - all good. Would buy again. One of 2 BMW's we own.
