1997 BMW 5 Series Sedan 528i 4dr Sedan
Almost as good as it gets.
 The car handles and corners amazingly 
well considering how soft, quiet, and 
luxurious it otherwise rides. The 
inline six is sporty enough but could 
use some more torque. The black 
interior looks luxurious and a little 
wicked at the same time. I took a 
friend of mine who recently bought an 
Infiniti for a ride in my 528. Within a 
mile he was already talking about 
getting a BMW. The reliablilty, 
compared to Toyotas, is dismal. The 
dash electrics, air conditioning, 
exhaust, 3 sunroof repairs, engine idle 
solenoid, window motor, trunk release, 
radio have all had problems (1 non-
routine problem per 6,800 miles).
