Strangely this car has always been a 4 star EuroNCAP car. You would think BMW would do better with safety.

Those who dont wish to put their faith in a whole new chassis and structure. Your only real peace-of-mind then is that you have the law, warranties etc. on your side but I take it most people would like to avoid those if possible so your better off just getting a more tried and tested model and in this case still get what is probably a brillant every-day drivers car.

My next car hopefully, forget the 335d whilst it will burn off many this is ample enough. Can’t wait til the A6 goes. Never thought I’d say that but I just want to ty this for a change. 8.5′s to 62 is darn good for a 4cyl in a big lump like this.

I would also add that the suspension of BMW can’t deliver a high level of comfort!

I must say, the 5-Series styling has not aged well. For something that was so controversial when it came out, it looks awful dull now.

Yeah well no one buys a high end luxury car right before because once the new model comes out, the value of the old one plummets.

“Who buys a car right at the end of it’s model cycle?”

Subaru and Skoda drivers do since it’s 110% guarantee the next model will be uglier.

It’s not a weird question. The BMW 520s came out in October 2008 – over a year ago. Why would they wait until late 2009, right before the new model arrives, to review this car? Any smart person would be putting off the purchase of a 5-series until next year. Who buys a car right at the end of it’s model cycle?

“Why are you reviewing this car when the new 5-series is due in about 6 months time?”

Because someone might want to buy one today? What a weird question…
