2006 BMW 5 Series Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I love driving this car. I feel very safe and I love having heated seats, a heated steering wheel and all the other bells and whistles. I love driving a BMW and i don't know if I can ever go back to driving anything else.

though it has only a 2 liter diesel motor it performs very well, 165 horsepowers and yet very great milage. accelerates almost like a v8 and breaks are very powerful. it is a very beautiful car inside and out and a perfect build i think, it is perfectly sound insulated, almost no road sound and music sounds great in it. it has needed repairs and parts are not cheap. a very comfortable car and great to drive

It's a black M5 sport facelift model so quite rare! diesel so very economical. tinted windows, alloys. very good road handling, part leather interior. what can i say its a lovely car to drive and sooo easy to park......its also got parking sensors!!!!!!!

Had my 2006 525i just over a month now. Bought with 63k miles on it. The handling with the sport package is unreal. True sport sedan that hangs with sports cars through the twisties. The 215 hp engine is smooth, sounds great and provides decent acceleration, but could still use more power. Comfortable, roomy and fast, this car is a joy to drive.

This is a wonderful car ready for any type of weather circumstances equipped with AWD technology for top safety and pleasure.The interior comfort is great, and road noise is minimal.The performance is great. I love this car. It's so fast and so smooth. Love the idrive.

Looks good with proper handling and premium quality. Lots of family space as well. Performance OK, awesome braking and road handling. Really smooth engine and minimal noise on the road. Maintains it´s value, no repairs needed so far. Recommended!

I love the performance and asthetics of this car. It has a good body style range, meaning from years 2004-2009 there wasn't much change, and it gave enough of an updated look that it stayed relevant in the mid 2010's.

Great power and handling. I've owned a 2000 528i and a 2006 550i. Both had the manual transmission. The 550i was 71k new back in 06. It had Heads up display and transferred your contacts via bluetooth into the car.

The 2006 BMW 530xi is a very good car. No question - a very competent comfortable all-weather-capable large sedan. But I was expecting more than that. Why? My previous 5-series, a 2000 528i wagon felt stronger and lighter than it actually was, handled very well for a large wagon, and felt like a BMW should. My 530xi runs well, rides well, accelerates well, brakes well, steers well, feels comfortable and luxurious, gets through any New England weather, accommodates 5 people and all their stuff easily, and feels incredibly solid. It's just not nearly as fun as the previous generation 5-series. I know the design is a bit controversial, but I happen to like it.) Just like every other BMW I've owned, not much breaks. But when it does, it's probably going to be more expensive than most Japanese or American car. In over 3 years, I've had a grand total of 1 unexpected repair cost (other than post-warranty oil changes, etc.) Of course, it was a fairly substantial $800. However, if all this is what you are looking for, then you certainly won't be disappointed.

A very quality car! Very nice interior. The materials used are just great. The driving is awesome. Looks great and has tons of equipment. It's not very costly to own it. Very much fun to drive! Recommend it to all!
