530i Owner 
2002 BMW 5 Series Sedan 530i 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 5M)
Love the car, hate service experience
 This is my second E39 and I must say 
the 530i is a huge improvement over 
the 528i it replaced. It's a blast to 
drive hard and at it's limits. It's 
comfortable for 5 adults. It's rock 
solid engine and transmission are a 
delight. My sales experience was the 
best, but I have a personal 
relationship with the business manager 
at the dealership I chose. I had to go 
350 miles away from home to get 
treated like a human being, but it was 
worth it.
 On the negative, my service experience 
at local dealers has been less than 
acceptable. I have a recurring problem 
with my driver seat that has been 
reported on 4 visits and still not 
resolved. Sad.
