 Richard.'s recommendation | |
The 528i makes driving fun. I've had a Jaguar and Mercedes but neither as fun to drive as this car. Handeling is incredible. Ride is solid. Attention to detail in the interior is good also. Beamers have a unique smell that just plain smells RICH. Love the car.
Too many problems. Has to go to the shop what seems like every other month. Most problems are minor but annoying after so many.
The 528i is a car that brings out the boy in a man. I never thought a car would make driving so fun. The slogan the ultimate driving machine is accurate. I would not reccommend the car to someone who has to finance it. The cost of repairs will run you about $200.00 a month when averaged out. I say this but my brother who has an identical car to mine has never had his in the shop. Every time I take it to the mechanic I tell myself to sell it. Yet, when I pick it up and drive it home I fall back in love with it all over again. I'm selling it anyway to move to the 7 series as I need more room. Once you have Beamer fever it's hard to get over it. Yes I love my BMW.
