What owners say
"Overall, drivers love the 2009 BMW 5 Series for its exceptional performance, handling, and luxurious feel. Many appreciate the powerful engines and impressive fuel efficiency for a car of its size. However, some drivers express concerns about high maintenance costs and certain design features that may not appeal to everyone."
Great car, good performance, good acceleration, handling. Build Quality - solid German engineering. Very reliable and no repair issues. Quality interior and exterior design. A fun car to drive. BMW cost of ownership = $0 maintenance - all good. Would buy again. One of 2 BMW's we own.
June 7, 2011I absolutely love this car, BMW is the only way to go. Once you sit behind the wheel, get comfortable and take off you will not be disappointed. This car has it all and they left nothing out. Looks great and super fun to drive.
February 27, 2014Firstly, the correct car was not present in the search on this thing - the actual car is the BMW 520d SE 2008. This is the ultimate driving machine. A 2.0Tdi going 0-60 in 8 seconds is unbelievable, and this is down to BMW. They are German, they have years of experience and they do build technically great cars. Handling is sharp for such a big car and the breaks are superb! Needless to say the build quality from BMW is excellent, no problems to report! The interior of the car is very nice, but nothing really special, little features like the steering wheel moving up and down as you get in and out are pretty cool! The exterior is not to everyone's taste, personally i like it, and i am very glad it doesn't have the standard wheels on it, they are horrible! Excellent mpg for such a big car, if it is driven sensibly you can get 48-55mpg! The car is awesome to drive, even if it is on the large side, and the looks of jealousy and hate you get are quite cool lol! I would deffinately recommend to a friend

February 28, 2009Combination of luxury and Performance sedan. Car is great to drive and has good backseat room as well as cargo room in trunk. Great gas mileage on highway for a 360 HP sedan. Put the car in Sport Mode and you will enjoy the low end torque in the city as well. Fun to drive.
April 14, 2014This car was well maintained. Great gas mileage on and off highway! Comfortable interior easy to drive. Driven less than 9000 miles per year so I really got deal find.
August 5, 2022the greatest car you can have and feel safe having your kids in it. this car handles perfect and has airbags allover. comfort of seating is way better and more comfortable than Mercedes. handling definitely surpasses mercedes and safety passed all cars on the road.
May 12, 2015Amazing Performance, Petrol Cons. very good.. and very powerful for 3.0 engine. such a beautiy on the road specially the back side of it.. and its really a fun car to drive and u get respected. dislike the noisey sound from the Run Flat tyre
May 6, 2010I liked the power, sports mode, acceleration, and handling, and the color combination was great. I'm not a fan of the center console but I have seem much worse. There is large trunk space. Maintenance costs can be pricey depending on what is being done.
May 18, 2015After driving my 550i for over 3 years it will be hard to ever buy any other car brand. This german machine has been built not only to last for many years, but to be reliable as well. The shifting paddles comes very handy when driving in roads and freeways.
December 21, 2012I have no dislikes about the car. It has been a pleasure to own and drive for the past three years. It is also in pristine condition having been garaged both at home and work. For a 2009 it has only 70,000 miles.
