2007 BMW 5 Series Sedan 525i 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6M)
Our first BMW is now totaled
 Sadly our first BMW only went 20K before being involved in a driver's front end collision last week.  Damage was so severe the car was totaled.  It did its job however as the front, door and side curtain air bags all deployed and kept the wife protected with no major issues.  BMW Assist was calling the car within seconds of the accident as well as calling the police.  Overall it was a well built car and we had no major problems with it.  The brake issue I mentioned in my previous posting never returned.   We are now looking at an 08 528i or 535i  with the turbo.  The 07 held its value fairly well.  In the 18 months we owned the car the value dropped 28%
