2008 BMW 528 consumer reviews

I love my BMW!!!!! I bought it used but it was very well maintained and had all the service records. I will forever drive a BMW. I love the way it hugs the road and I have control with with speed.

I would recommend this car to anyone. It certainly adapts to the driver and is a fantastic ride. The interior is incredibly spacious without the feel of driving a boat. The quick response once you accelerate is more than acceptable in my opinion. As a mother of a 5-year-old, safety and practicality is a must. I've had this car for over a year and I'm still pleased. Maintenance is a big factor to consider as I've found it to be a bit pricey. Despite the sticker shock at the mechanic, I don't plan on driving anything other than a BMW going forward.

Excellent luxury auto , drives great. This is the 4th BMW I have owned. Great value for the money. I would never buy a new one, just used.

I just bought this 528i BMW two days ago and so far I have enjoyed every moment. It is a well kept vehicle. My family loves it. My wife loves it so much, that I am afraid she is going to want to trade cars with me (hahaha). It was a great buy for the money. It handles great. A smooth ride, beautiful paint and body, stylish, lots of extras. A true family car, but with a sporty look that I love and am enjoying. Great sound equipment and the navigation and phone system were a big plus that I was not expecting. The seats are very comfortable. I am looking forward to many years of driving it.

The 2008 BMW model was way ahead in the refresh cycle than its peers in terms of interior and exterior styling showcasing the road presence and a greater stance even now. I very much like the smooth steptronic transmission with easy gear shifter. The cabin's quietness and vehicle's performance are a great plus. It's a great fun to drive car equipped with loads of features and quality parts all of which add to driving comfort. Pros - Unique Gear selector Performance Ride quality & Handling Seating + Steering + Mirrors memory for 2 drivers Lighting (Powerful Adaptive dynamic Bi xenon, Turn with steering headlights, Auto leveling, Cornering lights, Welcome lights, Curb illumination LEDs) Interior quality Cons - Cost of purchase Rear seat space

This is a great car! I have a 528xi in black sapphire with black leather. It's equipped with sport and premium packages and has heated seats, xenon lights and the multi-contour seats. No real complaints whatsoever. Only wish I had parking sensors or a backup camera. I have driven and studied dozens of high end cars. I never thought I would like a BMW this much. It's not quite as fast as the 535 because it doesn't have the turbo but it will still get you somewhere quick! Many people complain about the iDrive being complicated and what not but I don't view it as complicated at all. And I appreciate it because you can customize your settings such as daytime running lights and if you want the car to make a noise when you lock/unlock, just to name a couple. Features like that make you really feel like you're driving the luxury car that you are. The MPG are great, I have a heavy foot and I get 21.8 mpg in the city and on road trips or steady highway driving I get over 30. Excellent! The seats are soo comfortable. Even the back seats are comfortable and have ample leg room. I find reasons just to get in my car, I like it that much. The sound system is pretty decent considering it's the standard factory one. I appreciate that I have an Aux hookup and a USB port in the console. The center console space isn't what you would consider spacious but that's ok. I hate clutter and you can stick anything that doesn't fit in the glove compartment anyway. The xenon lights are great and even turn in the direction in which you're steering. Trunk space is very generous. I also like that even though you are in a sedan you don't feel low to the ground at all. It feels very safe, I have not had a serious accident in it but if I do, I have confidence that I have a great chance of being ok. Not all drivers can say that. I have not had any maintenance issues thus far. Mechanics tell me that the 2008 528 has one of the best engines ever made by BMW so I anticipate my vehicle to surpass 200,000 miles without an issue. I only have 85,000 miles right now so I have a ways to go. Overall very happy with my car. Looking at other reviews, many other people are as well. Like I said, I never though I would like a BMW this much. Hope my review helps!

I purchased my car on 7/23/12 and it was a worth wild purchase. The car is beautiful inside and out. It drives like a dream and I am currently learning all digital gagets that come wih the car. 4 door 528xi steel gray. This car is just awesome !!!!

I bought a used 528i about two months ago an couldn't be happier with it. It is still under factory warranty until November 2012 and that was a big thing for me when shopping for a BMW. About two weeks after the purchase I noticed a ticking sound coming from the engine which sounded like a sticky lifter. I took it to BMW and it turns out there was a service bulletin about this very problem and they fixed it without any charge to me. Good thing because the fix was to replace the head, a very expensive solution! I really love the styling inside and out and the materials used are noticibly better than the domestic cars I've owned. Steering and handling are great and make the car that much more fun to drive. Fuel economy is ok, about 21 mpg with my mostly surface street driving but when I get on the highway I can consistently get 31 or better. I am now a bimmer fan for life.

Purchased a 2008 528 xi Certified from dealer with 38k miles. This is great luxury / sport auto that I did not know existed untl I drove this car. The mpg suprised me when on a highway trip I averaged 30 and 21 around town. Cold weather package with heated steering wheel is a must for cold weather climates. The I drive system takes some getting used to, but is useful. Connect I Phone into av connection and get I heart radio and Pandora piped through sound system and bluetooth lets me use Suri on I PHone 4s to voice text message while driving. Great design inside and out with a huge trunk.

She is a great ride. I get around 34mpg. in her. I drive over 110 miles a day. The 528i is a smother ride than the Mercedes. I am thinking about purchasing another one, may be the 700 series.
