2000 BMW 5 Series 548i review from North America
"High performance, relatively expensive, only worth the price if you value performance over comfort"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only problem is that the BMW phone does not support all the directory and dialer features on the display.
Rims easily damages, but this was my fault, going over a curb accidentally.
An intermittent rattle from the rear that could never be fixed. It eventually went away on its own.
General comments?
The car performs very well, is easy to drive and handles superbly.
I find the seats not to be as comfortable as those on a previously owned Saab and Lexus. I am unable to sit high enough or as far back as I'd like, and when I get into a comfortable position the speedometer in not fully visible.
