    Finest Driving Car I've Ever Owned.

    As a retired Automotive Professional I've driven literally hundreds of car over my 40 year career. So, I decided as a retirement present to myself, I would go luxury this time. I bought mine certified pre-owned with only 15,000 miles on it. The quietness, the handling, are as good or better than anything. When passing, the acceleration is smooth and clean. The only drawback is that if you don't pay attention, you'll find yourself going 80.

    Another great 5-series

    This model line continues to amaze me as I trade them in every 5-8 years. The 2018 is the most improved of them all. If you've never driven a 5-series or a BMW for that matter, treat yourself!

    What a Great Car

    This car is even better than expected. Can offer outstanding comfort with excellent performance and great fuel economy. 4 year bumper to bumper warranty is fantastic. Dealer experience has been outstanding so far.

    Luxury is unbelievable

    I feel like I?m gliding. Quiet, smooth ride. Feels like I?m doing 45 mph when driving 70 mph. Interior is so luxurious. I?m well acquainted with the reliability of BMW.

    Luxury and dependability

    It is hard to imagine what one would want in a car that isn't in this vehicle. Extremely smooth and comfortable, with great performance. BMW does a masterful job at manufacturing and helping maintain the vehicle with it no cost warranty service for 4 years.
