Expect quality

Have had this car for two years now, and it's a great car. The engine is smooth and reliable, all our vehiclces have the straight 6 and we've found it bulletproof. Even for a 7 yr old car, we still get compliments on it, and the finish and materials are still stellar. Great for a commute, most comfortable seats in any car we've ever had, and very nimble for a relatively large sedan. On the highway, the car is at it's best, rock solid, quiet and great feedback at any speed. The one thing my wife would like is a better cup holder and that's been the only complaint.

Good vehicle
by Me

I bought this vehicle used from a friend and it is a great vehicle. The ride is comfortable. The response is fantastic. I own a 2010 Mercedes and had I purchased this first I might own two BMWs.

I love my car but what about the cup holders?

I bought this 2004 in 2012 with 68000 miles on it. It looks relatively new and is spotless in and out. The car handles great. The MPG is upper 20's on the highway and 18 around town.
The car is so comfortable. I will admit I am a cheap skate and wont by new cars. This one is great. It did take me several weeks to find one in this condition with this low of miles but I wouldn't give it back if I could!!

One of the best cars I've drive, reliable, comfortable. Car has great acceleration. Ride is incredibly smooth and quiet. I wish i could keep it. It was my mom’s car and since i bought new car a year ago i can’t keep this one.

Great Car
by Female BMW Lover

on Sun Nov 04 2007
I find the BMW 530I to be a dream. However, I do not favor the fact that High Battery Drain appears every so often on the dash and I do not leave lights on. Other than that BMW is the greatest car you can ever drive.

Very reliable
by khoworth

after driving the Pilot, Ridgeline, Highlander, Santa Fe, and several others, the BMW530i was by far the best value for my money. It is solidly built, quiet, and smooth. The ride is like a Lexus and it handles almost like a sedan. It's just the right size, has very comfortable seats and is loaded with technology! On my first 500+ mile trip, I averaged30 mpg. If you're looking for a new sports car in this segment, put this one on your short list to test drive.

How Long Can You Keep A Car
by BrucknerBMW
from Chesterfield VA
on Fri Apr 13 2018
If you are willing to do routine maintenance and drive responsibly there really is no limit to how long you can keep a BMW. They are made to last. We have a 2004 BMW 530i that looks as good as the day it was made and it has over 230,000 miles on it. The only reason we chose to get a newer car is because of the options that are now available in newer BMWs.

Drive Power, if you have a gas money this car is good.
