2008 BMW 5-Series

The 2008 BMW 528i is an excellent vehicle for the individual who wants to be stylish but comfortable and enjoys hassle-free driving. Loaded with all of the bells and whistles that one would expect from a BMW, this car features a sleek interior with all of the important features right at your fingertips. (They have thought of everything right down to the first-aid kit in the trunk.)

With its innovative iDrive computer system, the only thing a driver has to worry about with this car is where to go. It shows you everything from how much gas you have to specific service needs to which tire is experiencing low tire pressure.

This car handles great on the road and gets excellent gas mileage. My only concern has been with the ease at which the paint has chipped from a couple of minor car door and shopping cart dings. I wish it had come with a paint touch-up kit.

As a side note, this is not the car for large families or for anyone planning to travel with more than two very tall people at the same time. My husband is 6'5, and although he can drive this car comfortably, there is no leg room left for a driver's side passenger when he adjusts his seat. Despite this, it's a great car and is an excellent value among other luxury vehicles in its class.
