CONS: Everything is adjustable. Wind noise at front of sunroof when inner roof open

REVIEW: Dozens of thoughtful small design touches, but you have to study the manual to figure them all out. Rides and handles better than Beemer SUV and with better mileage. Great looking wagon. With all the sound engineering that went into this car, I can't understand how they let the noisy sunroof ...

CONS: Carsick children in backseat "slow down Mom", single cd system

REVIEW: Love this car! Fast, elegant, and worth every penny. Incredible steering and handling. Great in the snow. I don't really like the cup holders which are up high and on the dash. Low profile so you have to be careful parking when approaching curbs. Love the steering wheel controls and and ...

CONS: None

REVIEW: After over a year of ownership I love this car more than the day I bought it. No problems, still tight and engine feels better than ever. Interior is sporty and not over done. If you can use a cell phone, you can operate I-Drive. Shifts and accelerates very smooth. Solid at high speeds. 100+ ...

CONS: Could improve the GPS software

REVIEW: Living in Germany, so put it to it's paces averaging 100+ mph on the highway. Very impressed with standard features and options. Wished GPS software was more robust, comparing it with after-market Garmin GPS system. Sold my 1984 325i, after 190,000 miles; even more impressed with the ...

CONS: not enough power, gps should be standard as well as sirus radio

REVIEW: I bought this car to replace my Mercury Marauder; bad call. I'm not all that impressed w/ german cars. Drove a Benz in Africa and wasn't impressed in the least. Maybe I just like horsepower. The service department at my local BMW dealer are morons. Oh well can't get the Merc back, ...

CONS: Braking system is not smooth.

REVIEW: Was told by two dealerships that this is just the way it is. It is terrible to have to concentrate every time you come to a stop to try and not make the car jerk. Not happy about this. ...

REVIEW: the Bmw 530xi is one of the best cars out there right now! it's like a sav with a sedan look to it. ...

REVIEW: Car is awesome. I had an X5 and drove this 550i and it is unbeliveable car. I think It will become a part of my car collection for a very long time. Very clever for BMW to create this car, with the perfromance level and style of the 5 Series. I guess its the closest thing you can get to an M5 and ...

REVIEW: I bought this car used (12 months old - 15,500 mi.), and drove it from east coast to west coast. It was a great trip. I encountered all kinds of driving conditions including a driving rain storm for 5 hours. The mileage was exceptional - 28.25 mpg. The ride was very comfortable, and the driving ...

REVIEW: the car is great, EPA is 28 hwy mpg but i have 33mpg on the trip. yes the i drive is crazy.....but if you can use a computer you can use the idrive. and using the radio is funny... it has 3 ways to turn the station 2 ways to turn it on or of....but not 1 button for vent settings! you have to use ...
