The BMW 525i is a fun car to drive. It is sleek and hugs the curves well when put to the test. Use it mainly for short trips and occasional commuting to work. It has very good power given it's v6 engine. I was disappointed to have to replace the battery a few months after I purchased it with 55,000 miles on it. Other than that it has run smoothly. Although the BMW 525i has a large trunk space, I was disappointed to learn that the back seat doesn't fold down to allow for longer objects to fit in the trunk like other cars that I've owned. The iDrive entertainment system is good and easy to use if you're familiar with working on a computer. I did not like the fact that the center console didn't allow for cables/cords to connect to electronics outside of the compartment easily. There were no holes or openings to do that without keeping the console open slightly.

I love the way the vehicle looks, its a luxury vehicle, and I added some nice 20 inch rims, it made the vehicle look as if I paid over 10,000 dollars for it even though I got for cheap.

BMW is a car that is the ultimate driving machine you are going to like the sleek and sophisticated styling. The ride quality is unmatchable. It is a very quiet ride and the noise cancelling cabin makes it seem as if you aren't even driving a car with an engine. However, with many good qualities come a price. The cost of ownership is quite high with this vehicle as opposed to other cars. Being a foreign made car, parts can get expensive. While under the 100,000 mile warranty the repair costs are low but when you get out of that range is when the costly problems appear. Also, if you are going to get this car repaired, expect to not have a car for a while. Depending on the repair it could be a few weeks. The low gas mileage is also something that, in today's society, could pose a problem. However, most sports cars have low gas mileage so that's not a big problem for most owners. All in all the car is a good buy for a nice price and you get a premium ride.
