| 2004 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 268hp 2.9L I6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Excellent price for the car. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of 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 |
