What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the the BMW 5-Series
| Price of the BMW 5-Series: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Better than the Lexus I was looking at for a much better handling and more luggage space vehicle. |
| Price of the BMW 5-Series: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Too expensive for what you get. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD | for 60k the 5 series seems a bit pricy compared to what you can get from even an acura TL for instance. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD | I paid cash, but they do not usually offer incentives on the 5 series. That may have changed in this economy but the 5 series has few incentives. |
| 2006 | 4dr Wagon 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Very expensive car 90K CDN or 60K USD new. Very pricey for a car. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed manual RWD | Compared to the implicit value of Genesis, BMW simply charges too much for what you get...$25K delta just not justifiable. |
| 2001 | 4dr Sedan 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD | still a high payment |
| 2000 | 4dr Sedan 282-horsepower 4.4L V8 6-speed manual RWD | Mostly about the depreciation - you will lose money |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the the Audi TT
| Price of the Audi TT: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual AWD | For the price, you get features that would be more costly in comparable German cars. So many features come standard like: xenons, tire pressure monitoring, power seats, etc. Very unlike Porsche where floor mats are an accessory. |
| Price of the Audi TT: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 265hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual AWD | Could buy a Porsche Boxster or Cayman with that money... |
| 2009 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 265hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual AWD | The way Audi packages the options up you get more that you want or need. They need to make some of the expensive options stand alone. |
| 2009 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual AWD | Any payment |
| 2003 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 180hp 1.8L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Whan all is said and done, this is an overpriced VW GTI with a better warranty. |
| 2002 | 2dr Convertible turbocharged 180hp 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD | From a purely technical perspective, it is expensive for what it is, having VW GTI underpinnings. As a whole package, I think the price is about right. |
| 2002 | 2dr Convertible turbocharged 225hp 1.8L I4 6-speed manual AWD | The car is fairly priced, but beginning to push the envelope with the second-generation TT |

| 2010 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Panel aligment is good, as are interior seams. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Solid, quiet, sturdy |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 360-horsepower 4.8L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Very tight and solid. Nothing cheap about the workmanship. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Top quality - fit and finish is flawless |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
The fit and finish on my new 528i were excellent. Not a flaw found yet. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 360-horsepower 4.8L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
well put together with good materials |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 174-horsepower 2.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
Excellent material and fit everywhere, the desing maybe abit more simplistic that i would like but the material and build is superb. Even a hardcore japanese brand fan -a friend of mine- admitted the build and materials used |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Top quality German manufacturing excellence |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 325-horsepower 4.4L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
Well made, with quality materials. Definitely a step up from the 3-series I owned previously. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 325-horsepower 4.4L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Materials and workmanship are first-rate. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Top quality throughout, very few shortcuts |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
This car is extremely high quality with tight panel fits and soft touch materials. |

| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual AWD |
I drove both the 3 & 5 series - 328x is far too small inside & materials are worse than my Honda Pilot. The 5 series was a lot better, about as good as my Jetta, but no close to the quality of the Audi (which was $30000 less). |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 184-horsepower 2.5L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Electrical and cooling system are a joke |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 265hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual AWD |
high quality material used for interior, everything looks like metal in the interior is probably metal. Trims and body panel fit together with very minimal gaps. |
| 2009 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 265hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual AWD |
Audi has always used top materials in their interiors. The TTS is no exception. |
| 2009 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 265hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual AWD |
This is my third Audi TT and with each new model the level of workmanship and materials gets better and better. I have never had a single problem with my Audi vehicles |
| 2009 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual AWD |
Fit and finish is just the best, I have seen from any car maker. |
| 2008 | 2dr Convertible 250-horsepower 3.2L V6 6-speed automated manual AWD |
top-notched baseball glove interior, super comfy R8 seats, (audi should have added memory seat feature on this $50G car....) |
| 2003 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 180hp 1.8L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Real aluminum door knobs, A/C vents, shifter surround, radio cover, dash trim; Alcantera wrapped steering wheel; Napa leather seats, woven headliner, velveteen cargo compartment, loop pile carpets throughout. Nothing like it in this price. |
| 2002 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 225hp 1.8L I4 6-speed manual AWD |
I am impressed that the pieces are all metal on the interior. The leather also holds up well. |
| 2002 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 225hp 1.8L I4 6-speed manual AWD |
BMW quality at 20% discount. Wonderful. |
| 2002 | 2dr Convertible turbocharged 180hp 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The car has held up very well in 7 years and has aged very well. A few places where fingers touch the interior frequently, such as the preset buttons on the radio and sliding cover of compartment in center console show wear. |
| 2002 | 2dr Convertible turbocharged 225hp 1.8L I4 6-speed manual AWD |
Build quality is solid and there are no issues with how the car is held up |
| 2000 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 180hp 1.8L I4 5-speed manual AWD |
Audi makes the best interiors (and arguably the best exteriors) in the business. Materials are top notch. |
