2010 BMW 5-Series Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by sooththetruth
sooththetruth
Handling
Turn in feels like that of a smaller car, while handling road imperfections with aplomb
Fuel economy
The turbo allows the ability to extract very excellent fuel economy if driven conservatively, and yet deliver exceptional power when needed (or just desired).
Ride smoothness
Good marriage of cornering with a very "settled" feeling even when turning over rough pavement.
Materials & workmanship
Panel aligment is good, as are interior seams.
Front seat room
All I need.
Rear seat room & comfort
People 5 foot 3 and above cannot sit comfortably in the back seat on long trips.
Reliability & durability
Terrible reputation for poor reliability and absurdly high repair costs as early as 50,000 miles.
Exterior styling
Square butt and lights are ugly. I think the the front end and cabin is beautiful.
