2000 BMW 5 Series Sedan 528i 4dr Sedan
528i pre-owned sport
 Quality vehicle. My second BMW (both 5-
speed manuals). Saved me big time when 
hit by red-light runner, so proven safety 
record. V6 gets me up onto frwy very nicely 
and out of 'jams' . Exceptional on long trips 
and gas mileage around 32mpg hwy avg.  
Only problems have been electronic, as on 
my 1998 5-series; guess it's the Germans.  
Also some seat rattles no one can fix.  I'll 
take manual trans over auto trans any day 
(I'm middle aged female, too!).   Now ISO a 
pre-owned 2003, manual transmission.
