    i had intercourse in the backseat of one of those, the whole time i wanted to drive it and she let me, it was a 535i , super fast super fun to drive super comfortable super refined and quiet. anyone bashing it has never driven it, just regurgitating scotty kilmer's clickbait garbage paragraph way of talking. probably just unreliable.

    I’m the second owner of a 2008 BMW 528i. First owner had it since new. I bought it with 154k and it has now 182k. The small things it has needed I’ve done my self. Super reliable! The trick to owning a used BMW is not being afraid of wrenching on it yourself or get a warranty.

    I own a Silver 2008 528i with the sport package with black interior. I bought in 2013 with 37k. It now has 234k and it’s been very reliable! I drove it from North Carolina to Los Angeles and back twice! The only things I’ve had to have done was Water pump, coolant reservoir, fuel pump, 4 wheel alignment and regular maintenance. I’ll never get rid of it! I bought a 2008 535i 6 months before the 528i and instantly had problems so I returned it and got the 528i and it’s been surprisingly reliable. I really want to buy a newer BMW but, I refuse to buy a turbocharged one again especially with a 2.0 4 cylinder!

      @@mindofliz1298 The case with any BMW (including the 5 series) is that the 28i's N52 I6 engine is often the simpler, stout one with the fact that it's NA, as are the 30i's too. The 35i's of that generation are complex and performance driven. I mean, the 35i's N54 engine block is nicely built, just good luck with everything around it.

    My dad bought a 2008 528i brand new back in 08. I was 9 years old at the time, and he absolutely babied the car (he rarely went over 4k rpm). Even though it may not be extremely "fast/quick", I never realized how responsive it was until after he gave me the car title (when I turned 18) and I started ripping it XD. Side note, When I was 9, I thought the E60/61 generation of BMW looked atrocious, but 12 years later I have to admit that this style has aged extremely well (especially compared to other cars produced in 04). Very well made video :)

    @Neil542 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I had this car for about 9 months before totaling it and it was a great car I loved it , it was my first car and was very luxurious and the sound system is really good. Granted it was expensive to maintain while I had it and had its few electrical gremlins but after that was solved it gave me no problems. In my opinion just keep a few thousand saved for maintenance and forget the warranty.

    I bought a 2008 535i from a main bmw dealer. It was the best car I’ve ever had and also the worse. It was VERY unreliable. Painful to own. But when it was working it was amazing. Knowing what I know now, I’ wish I’d got the non turbo, I hear they are actually reliable. I loved the seats with the extending thigh support as well as the wrap around headrests. 300/300 hp/tq was just about perfect, not rapid but not slow either. Definitely a baller vibe to the car. Mine had the staggered bigger wheels and was a gorgeous mid grey with grey leather. Like I said, awesome when it wasn’t being repaired.

    Hey Kevin, again with another great review!
    I have the exact same car, except in Schwarz Black, and I completely agree with the comfort it has when driving, while having the ability to pull quickly once you put your foot down.
    By the way, at 5:00-5:03 regarding the shifter, in order to put it in the steptronic mode (+-), you’d have to push the shifter to the left to engage.
    Keep posting, I enjoy your content!
