Used BMW 5 Series for Sale near Georgia

This was my first experience with BMW. It was dark silver with light gray leather and automatic transmission. This one had traction control but was useless without snows on all wheels. This car is not a lightweight and a minivan would win a stoplight race, but once underway would run 80+ all day, which it often did. Several trips down south provided a pleasure with comfort for four adults, and on the 2-lane highways in eastern KY was a dream. This was a leased vehicle and I was going to purchase but changed job locations. Very low cost to drive overall. Like all BMWs this one was tight like a vault.

This car(automatic transmision) accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in about 10 seconds, nod bad for 1610Kg(empty) touring. This car handles superb, TCS is perfect solution on slipy roads. Sport and Winter modes also included. My maximum was 217km/h and car remains very stable.

I have owned the car three years now. Had some deferred maintenance when I bought it. Has 216,000 miles, compression is on par. When you drive an older car, you accept that instead of making a car payment, you have maintenance. if you cannot accept that, just buy a Corolla. I put Bilsteins on it. did some suspension work, new cat converters, other things as the mechanic says. make sure to not get too deferred on maintenance. Do these things and the car will reward you. The V-8 is a sewing machine that pins yountomyour seat like a rocketship. Do warn your passengers before you open it up. Sadly, the fun does not last long, as the car will rocket past 100 real quick. The Bilsteins were jittery for first few months but now, the car is silky on the freeway, and just turns into a tiger in corners. Quiet, good room. big trunk. arresting hook brakes. be careful, as other cars cannot brake anywhere near as good, I have been almost rear ended several times until I learned to give people behind me better warning. had it three years, should be good for at least another 5. Averaging maintenance over months and I am driving one of the top1% cars for about $250 per month. A good one will run about 5k. A good choice.

Performance: 2.0 Straight 6 smooth down at low revs but much quicker at 3k revs plus. Brakes very strong, handles nicely, feels safe. Build Quality: Nice and strong. Appearance: Very nice condition, almost Factory fresh. Cost of Ownership: 30MPG so not bad, reasonable insurance. Fun Factor: Good fun, a nice drive.

Excellent all around. For a larger four door it does handle very well. The interior is very durable and excellent quality comfortable leather. The 5 speed make it and excellent performer especially on the freeway when you drop it from fifth to third to get around lane blockers.
