Auto District Indy review
"If you’re looking for a reliable car that won't break the bank, check these guys out. I was looking for something under $10k, and they had several great options that were actually in good shape. The $239 doc fee is very reasonable compared to other shops in the area. Very happy with my purchase and the level of service I received!"
2008 BMW 550 review
I loved this car and did not want to get rid of it but like most Bmw’s after a certain point they get to be a money pit. I did all I could to take care if the car with the hopes I could keep it and pass it down but I became frustrated that after 13 years the car became to unreliable. It was fun to drive and had a great engine. The body and interior held up very well.

Exotic Luxury Autos review
Dropped in unannounced. Within a few minutes we were test driving the car we went to look at. The salesman was knowledgeable and polite. A good experience.
2008 BMW 550 review
Bought the car with 97k miles and it has a little over 102k miles now. My father purchased the car from a mechanic who maintained it very well. The car has been awesome so far except a handful of times, at a stop light, the transmission malfunctioned and puts itself into park. This also happened one time when I was reversing and scared the xxxx out of me. When this happens it displays the traction control and ABS light, not sure if anyone else has had this same issue? It fixes itself every time after turning the car off and back on. Also had an instance where cylinder 7 and 8 were misfiring, but took it to the shop they plugged it in and reset it and the motor has been perfectly fine since. Also, the car drinks oil and has very slight leak. I know it sounds problematic, but the car has made driving fun. Nobody buys a V8 bmw for its reliability / ease of ownership … but if you take care of it, it will probably take care of you just fine. It is truly a thrill to drive. I have the msport package with all the bells and whistles and that provides me with everything I want. The comfort seats are awesome and after a 3 hour road trip I feel like I could keep driving. I drive with a heavy foot and fill it with 93 and I get 15 mpg city driving and up to 25 on the highway. This car is a super comfortable commuter if you don’t mind the gas mileage. Turning off traction control + sport mode will allow you to have way too much fun. The car feels like it is just cruising (with summer tires of course) until you hit about 140 mph which is when I when I back off. I love cruising the highway in this thing as it always feels like it has plenty more power to unleash. I love this car and would recommend it to anyone that knows how to turn a wrench or has a good connection with a mechanic.

2008 BMW 550 review
This car is simply a work of art. I owned the 545i, and really missed it. Found a 2008 550i M Sport at am amazing deal, I jumped on it. Chris Bangle should be delighted over his design. The 5 series that followed is so bland and conservative. I love this car. The power, handles and feels like a much smaller sports car, style, comfort, features, you name it. I'm a big fan! Can't believe, someone below, compared this to a new Honda. I'm a former Accord owner, no comparison here, two totally different vehicles. The V-8 is the best feature. It literally pushes you back in your seat, it's like a rocket when passing someone. The sound is addictive, I drive in manual mode mostly, for pure enjoyment. Yes, service will be needed just like any other car. These are over engineered, you have to consider this, when considering the purchase. Preventative service is key here, stay on top of it, she'll last a long time. I taught myself how to service the N62 V-8, the 5 series of this era. Some repairs are tedious but not very difficult. Valve cover gaskets, suspension, oil leaks, will happen to any vehicle. I suggest, learn to turn a wrench. You get the satisfaction of repairing your own car, and saving a lot of money. I love working on this car. This is a German beast of a car, not a Honda, consider this when shopping.
