I liked the looks of it, it is sporty, yet a family car, and practical. One thing I did not like is a lot of garages won’t work on it, since it is a BMW. The car’s style is unique, yet stays with the line of styles of BMW. It does not have the generic look of Japanese cars, the BMW is often copied, yet never the same. In the comfort part, it is very comfortable, you feel at ease driving it, yet it feels like a fun car. Is for room, for what I need the car for, it is plenty of room in the trunk, and inside offers lots of legroom and space. The Bmw 525 is as a lot of style and qualities about, it one of them, is they never ever break down if you take care of them and maintain them, and even if you do not, they keep going. Inside the cabin is very quiet, often too quiet, as you can start going to sleep. I did not notice any blind spots. It rarely ever goes to the shop, except for regular maintenance. The gas mileage is about average, in my opinion it could be less. The price of maintenance is about average, and for repairs, it does not cost any more than other makes. Performance is as expected from BMW, quick and responsive, both for aggressive driving and cruising around. A very fun car too drive, as it is versatile and a comfortable family car, with the performance of a sports car. Car as a quick response to acceleration, as you step on the accelerator, response is swift and immediate, without you realizing the speed it achieves in such a short amount of time. Breaking and handling is flawless, although at time the rear end feels light, and does slide if driven aggressively. I totally feel safe driving it, and that is why I own BMW’s, they are safety oriented. Always felt in control, even with the rear sliding.

At first glance, the BMW 640i Gran Coupe looks like any other car on the road. It's not overly remarkable from outside. Inside, however, lies one of the most feature-rich sedans on the market. Simply put, the car feels like something James Bond should be driving. However, all the bells and whistles in the world can't take away from a sluggish engine that somehow still manages to hit 17 mpg on a good day, while running premium fuel.

The second-generation 6 Series (E63) was produced from 2003-2010, filling the hole in the lineup left since the end of the 8 Series' production. It is based on the underpinnings.
