2004 BMW 545 consumer reviews

D'rob Breaded on SoundCloud! I love driving the is car listening to D'Rob , the cars super exclusive, got a flat , rear left, a week later also rear right, a 750$ rakkand pinion job now it's GASSING in SPORT all over SAN DIEGO , feels like a Bentley! But I want the DOUBLE RR next ROLLS ROYCE B!

This car has the stlying of a pure luxury car and the Dinan performance that is rare in the unless you purchase an M series BMW

I have just taken custody of a 2004 BMW 545i and it's more car than I was expecting!! The performance and handling are spot on.

Bought this car at 78,000 miles, currently at 93,000 miles, had this car for over a year and all in all you will never catch a break financially with this car. Electronics and sensors are always breaking. Water leaks in the car. Certain windows will not go up or down, they constantly break daily. Engine misfires. Your dashboard looks like a Christmas tree. $800 to fix the radio. Dynamic drive failure, active steering malfunction. Headliner droops down. And the list goes on. I repeat, unless you have quite a bit of money stored away and are prepared to pay for major repairs, DO NOT BUY THIS CAR. DONT LET LOOKS DECEIVE YOU.

Very fast and comfortable while being surprisingly reliable, good torque and handles well for being 4,900lbs but i would recommend the manual over the automatic as I have owned both and the manual is both more fun and seems to retain its value significantly better than the auto, car also sounds absolutely beautiful with an exhaust system

Run don't walk away. Could not fix, valve job, oil leaks, emissions. Wrecked car (accidently)and walked away. Pulled the engine and shop commented that even with a new engine, everything around the engine goes bad (I spent $6500). He said could be another $9k. Also, the heated seat burned through and the sunroof did not open all the way. Another $3k.

Sport and sedan at the same time. Leather seats are so good and they don't age at all. Reliable and doesn't cost much to maintain if you keep track of service records. Great vehicle so far

kinda cool looking. Looks slow abut isn't. Handles like nothing else on the road but leaks from every seam. Leaves puddles of oil everywhere. BMW certified mechanic told me to plan on pulling motor and trans once a year to redo gaskets. No Excuse!!!!

The car had out-of-state plates and was 2 years out. It had a transmission problem I was not sure about. Steering fluid was low as well as coolant. 111000 MI engine was replaced with a used one having 60,000. Sitting in the back of my buddies car lot for 6 months, a dead battery also. A big dent in the rear door driver side. Really nice aftermarket tires and wheels. After chatting 20 minutes we went back to the car and it fired right up. No check engine light. 9 miles to empty on 6 month old fuel. I'm thinking this doesn't look good. It goes in gear no problem. Let it run for a while and turned it off came back the next week and it started without a jump. I took it for a drive and bought it. $1,800. I figured what the heck the tires and wheels cost more than that. Don't hate me for being so lucky. The tranny problem was a solenoid. And I have no idea why the coolant and steering fluid was low because none of it is leaking. My buddy did me right. But I'm still waiting to see some steering fluid because that stuff doesn't evaporate. Needless to say how could I not be satisfied! The reviews on this car are pretty accurate. I've only had it for about 90 days but I'd say like I said in the beginning, I'd be foolish to not buy it. So I did. And I'm glad I did. Definitely a big step up from a 99 Caravan with a blown head gasket. Right?

I have 1988 735i with 133,000 miles, and my 2004 545i show 162,000. This car is fun to drive and it tries to do 0 - 100 if you take your eyes off the meter. I had transmission filter changed and serviced and the regular service and I change the brakes myself. I have pushed my 545I BMW and the car won't die. I think when you drive a BMW hard you help clean the sludge off the valves like a self-cleaning oven. Because the car stands up to the road driving punishment, you have to be prepared to do the repairs without complaining one bit. To me this car is faithful with 162k miles. I had the dealer replace the oil pressure switch, because they leak as they get old. But the switch was under the coolant bottle and I could replace it myself. I could beat myself for giving that simple job out. I love this car, I am only sorry I could buy it sooner like my 1988 735i.
