2008 BMW 5-Series Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by ccw

Exterior styling

I have the 550i in the M Sport, which has the M styling cues and wheels. Very sexy and powerful looking.

Powertrain performance

Very fast and quick, even with the 360hp engine. Use the auto manual and you really get a rush.

Materials & workmanship

Very tight and solid. Nothing cheap about the workmanship.

Discounts & incentives

None of them that I know of.

Rear seat room & comfort

A little tight in the rear, but it is a mid-size sedan.

Feature availability

The "iDrive" computer controls are a little confusing and difficult to use, but not a big deal.
