Used 2008 BMW 5 Series for SaleNationwide

This car is a very nice car and i am very excited to have it.The car sounds awesome when it accelerates.Not cheap but well worth it,and is very fun to drive. I strongly recommend this car to anyone. I love this car.

Out of 60 vehicles over the course of 45 years this was the most incredible one. No modifications, all stock, naturally aspirated 4.8 liter V8 with stunning performance and handling, a real sleeper sport sedan. I surprised a lot of people out on the open road. In my last days of ownership I put it on the track for a day of high performance driving instruction. Even the instructor was surprised at its performance and got a big kick out of instructing me to pass a C8 on 2 occasions and even a Viper ACR. It wasn’t that they couldn’t have run away from me, however they had less experience. Less of a car could not have done it and it did it at speeds in excess of 135 mph. When we pitted on one occasion, however, the BMW was billowing smoke which I knew was only an oil leak but one of the other instructors nearly called down the fire team. This is the cars design flaw that was fatal to my ownership. Oil leaks that are overwhelming and extremely expensive to repair. If you’re looking to buy one, you also better be looking for oil leaks I’m sad to say.

Good low range torque, slick and understated. Very good sport sedan with a solid V-8. Very quiet interior - definitely a head turner. Great exterior color and really nice looking wheels. iDrive takes some getting used to and the LED screen is a bit dated

I drive a LOT 1000 miles a week. And I finally feel safe and comfortable when I'm travelling. It handles great. It is very quick but not at jumping off the line from a dead stop. The trade off is I get GREAT gas mileage. The car is wonderfully engineered. And it is beautifully detailed inside and out. If you get one, get a cargo organizer for the trunk and get some storage for the interior if you carry a lot of things. I do get a little bit of aggression on the road. I don't drive aggressively but people get aggressive with me in the BMW. Interesting and true. I drove a 2011 528i for 2 weeks while my DVD was being swapped out. I do NOT like it as well as the 2008. I do like the Nav better but it's bigger, harder to see around it, feels wrong, the Cruise controls arene't like the 08- I don't like them. The 2008 is still sports-like. the 2011 is more luxury feeling. I prefer the smaller feel and sports handling of the 08. The Continental tires are not the run-flats and I am still putting miles on this original set at 89000 miles on the odometer. The run-flats are expensive and my friends have had to replace theirs at 30K miles. The MPG is higher with the Continentals too. I love this car.

My 3rd BMW, only owned for 2 months; Purchased as CPO with 41K miles, really loaded with options. Performance is stellar; loves mountain roads. Premium and sport packages with sport automatic trany make the car so much more. Economy is good (especially for a 300 HP car).
