2002 BMW 5 Series

Pros: Beautiful looks, awesome powerplant, heavenly handling, equally impressive ride. An all-around performer.

Cons: Spartan interior with confusing German markings. Painful sticker shock.

The Bottom Line: I get the question all the time: "if you could have one car, which would it be?" This car, my friends, would be my pick.

Review: Many times, the "dream car" discussion hits the roundtables of manhood, and when two guys get together, the question invariably comes up: "if you could have only one car, what would it be?" My friends know they don't have to get very far in their...

Pros: Handling, technology, Interior passenger space, Build quality, Styling, Image

Cons: Expensive option packages, Very expensive V8, Wagon could be more roomy in the back

The Bottom Line: What a luxury wagon should be, handles like a race car and hauls the family. Is it worth the money? Look at the A6 and the E320 before you decide...

Review: In my recent foray into the BMW world I spent several hours "playing" with a 330 sedan (see my review on epinions) and a 525 wagon. Both these cars with an automatic transmission. This review fits into the 5 series slot but concerns mostly the 525 wagon...

Pros: Awesome power, smooth ride, well made

Cons: cup holders, gas mileage not great

The Bottom Line: This car will satisfy all your needs, and if you are looking for a sporty luxury car, this should be your only option!

Review: This car has everything, the attention to detail is impeccable. The service staff at the dealership is amazing, take the car in to get the tires changed and they wash your car! FOR FREE!

Let's start with the seats. The seats have been...

Pros: Performance, Handling, Reliability, Winter Handling (with snow tires),Dealer Service

Cons: Cup Holders

The Bottom Line: A luxury family sedan that thinks its a sports car. If you are shopping cars in this range, this is the bomb.

Review: This car is a lot of fun. I bought it for a nice ride, but it unexpectedly changed my approach to driving from transportation to an enthusiasm. To start, it made me want to be a better driver. A month after buying it I attended a Skip Barber driving...

Pros: Decent size interior, proven hassle free electronics, safe family sedan

Cons: worst cupholders I've ever seen in front and no cupholders in rear, garage door opener

The Bottom Line: provides safety and some additional room that we were looking for - the car is solid and it's going to be reliable while we own it

Review: To start, a bit of background. We are a car firendly family with an eclectic set of cars in our short driving history. In the past five years we've owned: 8? Chevy Cavalier, 96 Chevy Cavalier, 96 BMW 328is, 83 Porsche 911sc Cabriolet, 87 Ferrari 328gts...

Pros: fast, great handling, sturdy build, reliable, sexy

Cons: price, smaller than old 5-series

The Bottom Line: Due to the sturdy build, reliability and quiet ride, this car is the best I have had and well worth the money.

Review: I have owned two BMW's and one Mercedes. 2002 530i BMW is by far one of the best cars I have ever driven. It is fast and handles beautifully even in snow and rain. Tight steering makes it fun to manuever. The car feels sturdy and heavy enough to not...

Pros: Styling, Engineering, low sound, Safety, Comfort, ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE

Cons: flimsy cup holders, lack of interior storage

The Bottom Line: No wonder Car and Driver rated this one of the top 10 cars 3 years in a row! You have to drive it to believe it!

Review: When I set out to get a new car I didn't want to spend too much. Being 6'4 I needed a vehicle with good leg and head room and comfortable to drive. A friend kept insisting I look at a BMW and I kept telling him it was way too much and would be too...

Pros: Suspension, handling, power everything, the looks I get

Cons: cupholders, tilt should have a manual release, pick up

Review: I recently bought a BMW 525i 2002.. My first bimmer and let me tell you I love it I just dont feel like getting out of the car. The only cons about the car is slow pickup and the cupholders and that the automatic tilt should have a manual as well in case ...

Pros: Handling, Comfort, Luxury, SAFETY, Value, FULL MAINTENANCE IS INCLUDED FROM BMW

Cons: Flimsy cupholders is about all I can say

Review: Reliability and Stability are benchmarks for this vehicle. The vehicle handles so well at high speeds (80 plus) that you dont feel the speed. In this car you will be traveling down the road at 85 and feel like you are only doing 60. THE SMOOTHEST RIDE ...

Pros: Best things: Great car,comfortable (even at 6'3") FAST. Radar detector should come standard.

Cons: Worst things: cup holders, driving in snow, cost of dealer service.

Review: Bought used 1 year,16,000 miles ago. It now has 37000 miles total Fantastic car. Not for those looking for a plush Boulevard ride. But it corners on rails, accelerates like crazy! I have not had any problems with car. ...
