Used 2000 BMW 5 Series 528i Sedan RWD for Sale near Silver Spring, MD

This is one of the best cars i have owned in a long time, comfortable, looked good and was fun to drive!

What's not to love? Driving this car is marginally less fun than sex. Smooth, supple, sure footed, very quiet, awesome stereo system, solidly built, everything works as designed. The seats are comfortable but the back seat leg room leaves something to be desired

I purchased this car when I was a Junior in high school. In the 5 years that I have owned this car I have roughly put 50k on the odometer for a total of 71816 miles. For every mile I have driven this car it has been reliable, comfortable, and has gotten me through tricky situations on several occasions with me and the car unscathed. I was rear ended about 2 years ago by a VW Jetta and to my surprise my car was relatively undamaged. Besides having the bumper replaced there was no other major damage. I recently had the transmission flushed and despite the reliability issues of the automatic transmissions that were in early model E39's mine has been perfectly fine. My one complaint about this car would have to be the factory stereo. I am a big fan of loud music and I was disappointed with the sound as a lot of owners are with mid 90's and early model E39's. This didn't really matter too much because since I planned on doing a lot of neat things with this car from the beginning I simply put in an expensive after market system. The one thing that has been great about this car is the maintenance has been cheaper than I expected. Once my factory warranty expired at 50k miles I opted to find an independent garage to work on my car and the biggest thing I had to do was replace the stock thermostat housing with an aluminum after market housing as the factory part tends to fail after a certain amount of time. Other than that minor problem this E39 has stood up to plenty of hard driving and at 72K miles it sure has a lot more in it.

All the great stuff you've heard about the E39 5-series is true. If you need a full-size sport sedan, this is it. If you want a more flexibility and space, get the Sport Wagon. The 2.8L inline-6 is surprisingly quick, and consistently returned 21 mpg or better - I'm confident it will last forever. Poise, ride and handling, are incredible. The interior isn't quite as nice as my Audi A6, but the exterior is arguably better-looking. Reliability has been good for a German car, but when it's time to replace stuff, parts are German car pricey (as expected).

It was my parent's car until they bored with it after 3 years. It was an awesome car to drive and actually had fun driving it. It had enough HP to do whatever I wanted to do within reasonably safe boundaries. It's a very good car when it was staying outside of the shop!!!!
