2005 BMW 545iSource: Cars.com...I had myself, my wife, and my two kids and never felt pressured for room. The ride was comfortable, and the engine was perfect. Through the mountains the engine and car shined. It never felt as though it might get out of control.For the trip, we averaged 25.3 mpg on the freeway.The brakes and tires are still in good functioning order, but we are probably going to have them replaced prior to next winter.I strongly recommend this series, and I can only imagine the newer 550 is even better.This 545 was the third BMW purchase in a four year span. But, this is such a great car that we probably... |

Why should I also consider these?
The 2008 BMW 5-Series's chief competitor, the E-Class, has more of an emphasis on comfort than the 5, with a roomier-feeling interior and a softer ride.
The A6 also feels a bit more spacious and comfort-oriented, but its performance--especially from the available 4.2-liter V-8--doesn't come close to matching that of the 550i's 4.8-liter V-8.
None of the competition offers a manual transmission either.
The Cadillac STS brings plenty of high-tech options and respectable performance, but it doesn't have the prestige of the 5-Series.
There's also the Infiniti M35 and M45, which bring brisk performance and some rival high-tech features such as a lane-departure system, but their cabins aren't as quiet and refined as those of the 5-Series models.
