Has many issues

I've owned the car for a few months and have made 2 payments whilst it was still running. The car drives and handles like a dream, but electrical gremlins are eating me alive.

Always taken care of at the dealer.

We're retired so we used this car for local errands and as our transportation for seasonal stays in California. Could drive all day and not be tired. Great ride, plenty of power from the twin turbo six. No accidents. Purchased used as a certified pre-owned.

One of the most reliable cars I've owned

Bmw's has always been a fun car to drive. It is meant to be driven. If you purchase one and don't really drive it. You are cheating yourself. These machines are meant to be driven. I'm on my forth one...As long as you keep up the regular maintenance.. You won't be disappointed. Find yourself a bmw mechanic...

Great Handling

I travel 40k/year have summer tires/rims & winter snow tires/rims. I choose to drive the 5 series as it handles the best of any car I have driven. Retired my last 5 Series at 389k & the exterior of the car was the reason I retired it not the engine etc.

Hard to find 5 Series Wagon X Drive

I have been looking for lower mileage Audi A6 Avant to replace my 200k miles 06 model. An Audit A6 Avant or BMW 535ix Drive Wagon, with low miles are getting harder to find, as they are not really being imported to US any longer, finding a larger all wheel drive wagon that is not quite a ostentatious as the MB AWD wagons is difficult. And the Volvo XC70, waiting for parts is a real hassle.

My 535i

This car is an incredible car. The performance has exceeded my expectations time and time again. The interior and exterior is sleek and luxurious. I'm a 20 year old that's turning heads in this 5 series. There is only one thing that kind of bugs me about the car, it's a lot heavier than any of my past cars. BUT it's definitely manageable.

excellent CPO BMW 535ix

this 2010 BMW 535IX is an incredible car to drive. This is my daily driver for the last 2 years and over 30k miles. The x drive has superior drive and handling in all weather conditions. Really enjoy the simple interior dash, winter package. I would recommend changing the oil at 5k, not what the car states. Great car to work on too, gotta love YouTube and true service manuals. You will enjoy this Car, Just bought Michelin Xi3 snow for the winter, bring on the snow. New Jersey Winter's can be fun too.

family car that everyone enjoys

The backseat is big, and the car has enough room for a 6 ft person in the front with a large car seat behind them...powerful drive and comfortable. Not alot of buttons, and streamlines alot of features in the idrive. The GPS in car is better than mobile phone apps. I love my car. High ownership costs, so don't shy away from maintenance package.
