Used 2010 BMW 5 Series for Sale near Chicago, IL
The sixth generation of BMW's midsize 5 Series luxury sedan debuts for 2010 with an evolutionary rather than a revolutionary design makeover. The front end receives an update, with a wide lower air intake, revised teardrop headlights, reshaped twin kidney grilles, and an overall softer, more fluid tone. Other exterior updates include cleaner, upsweeping lines from front to back and a fastback-style rear end, resulting in a sportier, more coupe-like appearance. The new 5 Series has a wheelbase about 4 inches longer than that of the vehicle it replaces, with longer rear doors and more legroom for rear-seat passengers. For the body structure, BMW makes use of lightweight materials like aluminum and carbon fiber, which provide superior strength and more nimble handling due to the vehicle's lighter weight.
Trims for 2010 include the 528i, the 528xi, the 535i, the 535xi, the 535xi Wagon, and the 550i. All trims receive more fuel-efficient versions of current engines, courtesy of the automaker's EfficientDynamics technology, which reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions yet ensures dynamic performance.
Available engines include inline six-cylinder engines for the 528i/xi and 535i/xi/Wagon, and a 4.8-liter V8 for the 550i. The engines link to either a six-speed manual transmission or a new eight-speed automatic transmission, replacing the previous year's six-speed. Drivers have a choice of a rear-wheel-drive configuation or BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system. All-wheel-drive trims receive the "x" designation. The next-generation six-cylinder 5 Series trims ride on 17-inch wheels, while the 550i gets 18-inch wheels.
Inside, the BMW 5 Series comes equipped with a number of features common to BMW sedans, including the iDrive turn-and-push vehicle control dial located on the center console, which enables drivers to manage the climate control, audio, navigation, and communications systems. Other features include optional Active Steering, which increases the steering angle at lower speeds, and a head-up display, which beams critical information, such as speed and navigation information, onto the inside of the windshield, so the driver can easily view it. Drivers also can opt to add the same navigation system currently available in the BMW 7 Series, which includes an 80GB hard drive that also services an entertainment server for storing music, photos, maps, and other files.

(26 reviews)Love the car great options not to high end Uses premium gas but vehicle is great on fuel
Love the car, great engine, don't need to worry about the turbo, or injectors it just runs smooth, keep up the maintenance and never have any issues. It is a great car, the only downside I would say is trunk space, it is a little limited especially when it comes to golf clubs.
It's my first 5-series and I love it - what more can I say? It's powerful, it handles extremely well, and it is very comfortable for long and short trips. The back seat is big enough for adults, the trunk can actually fit enough luggage for a trip, and the interior amenities are what you'd expect for a car of it's class.
The 535I is a recent purchase. So far I love it. I have an older model 525I 2007 for a number of years which I have thoroughly enjoyed!! The cabins on both cars are very roomy!
Not every day you get the chance to drive a brand new BMW 520d. (CarIQ doesn't know there are diesel BMW's around one would say). This particular car was my brothers new car. I actually got to drive it for more km's than he drove it: he gave me the wheel at 100km and I gave it back at 160km, while the first 35km were driven by BMW. This car is impressive. Excellent quality feel, superb build quality, state of the art technology and cosy, comfortable interior. I drove the BMW at night in the pouring rain back home. It has an excellent road holding, but not sporty. There were two points of improvement. The first was that the car easily stalls when accelerating from a standstill. The engine seems to lack initial couple to get some movement in the heavy sedan. You have to drive it like a petrol engine: gas and then clutch, which seems awkward in a diesel. The second point of improvement is clearly the steering at higher speeds. To drive the car straight, you have to constantly correct your steering actively to keep driving a straight line. Very annoying. It didn't have anything to do with the pouring rain or winds during part of our drive. Although I wasn't particularly fond of some Bangle-designs, I was disappointed in the styling of this new 5 compared ot the old one. The new one could be mistaken rather easily with a 7, but it doesn't have the same character as the previous 5 series had. The visual drama is not so present. I liked the old one's convex & concave contrasts, while this new one really has nothing special about its looks. A missed opportunity. The old car will remain a design icon.
