BMW 5-Series Saloon (03-10) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 04 June 2007 Last Updated: 30 July 2008 BMW has a strong reputation for building cars that are rewarding to drive and the latest 5-Series lives up to that status. The sports saloon comes with a wide choice of engines all of which offer strong performance while the sharp steering, strong brakes and excellent body control give it class leading handling. The trade off is a firm ride, which along with the standard run flat tyres, can make the 5-Series unsettled on uneven roads. In 2007 a fuel-saving program called Efficient Dynamics was introduced to all models - but it works in the background so drivers won't notice any differences. Spacious, comfortable and superbly built, the BMW remains the best executive saloon on the market. 4.5 out of 5 Other BMW reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 3 out of 5 Buying used Used 5-series models are still quite pricey so bargain hunters should look for manual petrol models - the 520i or 523i for the best value. Diesels and automatics will be in highest demand and there is a healthy premium for M Sport models due to their sportier styling.

Diesels are also sought after but you should have few problems selling any 5-Series, especially if it's been well cared for and has a BMW service history.
