Owner's reviews of the BMW 5 Series

2018 BMW 5 Series 30d M SPORT owner review

CarExpert.com.au

BUSKER63 purchased this BMW 5 Series used for $42,000 (including all on-road costs) in 2021. BUSKER63 would buy this car again because: "It is an awesome, high tech machine that sounds awesome and drives like a thoroughbred. Also the kids nearly wet themselves again when I told them I had bought an ex police car. A bit disappointed that the alternating flashing headlights have been disabled though. Actually, gutted. "
