It had been 3 joyful years with the 2004 BMW 530i.
My lease was up 3 weeks ago, and I miss the car already. The driving experiance, and the pride of ownership was like no other.
Many complain about the e60's styling, but I found it beautiful from the very start. The agressive front facia and flowing lines made the car have presence. It definately stood out from traffic. The interior was also a pleasure to be in, although iDrive took a while to master. But the main reason I leased this car was the driving experiance. I was hooked after the first test drive. The car makes one feel as if they are one with the car. The handling is, without a doubt, best in class.
My 530i had some electrical gremlins after 62,000 miles (2 months ago), but a quick trip to the dealership solved my issues. Other than that and a problem with the NAV/IDRIVE not working, the car was problem free.
I would highly recommend this car to anyone looking for a midsized luxury sedan. It is the perfect combination of sport and luxury. Everything that one would expect from a BMW.
Now to replace my 5 series, I am thinking of leasing the new X5,ML, or Q7. (The ML leases are a lot cheaper than audi and BMW.) Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
