2005 BMW 5 Series 530i review from North America
"I would not buy another one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This model was recalled for programming error.
Since that problem was repaired, the navigation
system street address would come up in french.
General comments?
The car itself is beautiful & handles well.
The cub holders are already starting to wear.
The big problem was getting the navigation system working properly. After three trips to the dealer, I complained on the survey, the manager of the service department told me he wouldn't help me with the car anymore, because of my complaint.
Very poor customer service!
