BMW 550 Reviews

"...the predecessor...BMW 5-Series was a recommended buy of Consumer Reports magazine, and this year's J.D. Power and Associate Dependability Study of 3-year-old cars showed the BMW brand above the industry average."

"The top-of-the-line 550 features a new 360-horsepower, 4.8-liter V-8 that has 35 hp more than the outgoing 545 sedan, which held a 4.4-liter V-8."

"The 5 Series was named a "Best Pick" in IIHS frontal offset crash testing."

"Measured by its...solid acceleration, the 5 Series is as good as it's ever been."

"Note the price is up quite a bit for the...5-Series."

"It's moved a bit upscale, so that means more money, too."

"...roomier than previous models. Front passengers get a half-inch more shoulder and head room, but the improvement is more obvious in the back, where there's more than an inch more shoulder room and two inches more legroom. This increase in cabin space puts the 5 Series on much better footing with key competitors like the Mercedes E-Class, Audi A6, and Lexus GS."

"One of the most satisfying midsize sport sedans...you can buy?"

"...this latest generation is a much better 5 Series."
