Q: How good of an engine comes in the bmw 5 series?
I’ve been looking into the lexus ls 400s and the bmw 5 series years ranging 90-95. Ive heard great things about the lexus engine being bulletproof but can the bmw six cylinder say the same? How mileage can i put on the car without having to worry about major issues?

A: Well all of BMW’s engines are great. Here are the ones they offer for the 5-series.

3.0-liter dual overhead cam (DOHC), 24-valve inline 230-horsepower 6-cylinder engine with composite magnesium/aluminum engine block, Valvetronic, and Double-VANOS steplessly variable valve timing

3.0-liter dual overhead cam (DOHC), 24-valve inline turbocharged 300-horsepower 6-cylinder engine with twin-turbo technology, piezo direct injection, and Double-VANOS steplessly variable valve timing

4.8-liter, 360-horsepower 32-valve V-8 engine with 4 overhead camshafts, aluminum engine block and cylinder heads, Valvetronic system, 2-stage air intake manifold, and Double-VANOS steplessly variable valve timing

They are all great engines. Any of them would be good if properly maintained for 200,000 miles. Good luck and make sure you get one that hasn’t been beat too hard and has been properly maintained.

Q: Is a BMW 5 Series the right car for my 17 year old?
I’m looking to buy my 17 year old (soon to be) a nice car, please none of the “are you crazy” or “you have too much money”. It has to be a nice car, he likes the BMW 5 series, would it be a good car for him? Any other suggestions? Must be BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar, Lexus, Porsche, Audi or any other quality makes.
I think I already said about the “spoiling” and the “money business”. I’m just on to ask about the car, he’s getting a nice car. END OF. I don’t know whether it’s jealous with you people, or what.

A: I’ll try a reply without the preaching!
Yes, a BMW 5 series is a fantastic car – beautifully made, reliable, even surprisingly economical for such a large car, they’re also safe & secure.
Have it serviced at an independant specialist – BMWs require very little maintenance to stay on top form, and the mechanicals are surprisingly simple. A BMW dealer will absolutely rob you for servicing.
As for other answers, suggestions such as Ford & Mercedes are a joke – The Mondeo in particular has serious reliability & economy problems, and to suggest it’s in the same league as a BMW is ridiculous to anyone that’s ever owned both – me included; Merc just don’t have the build quality & reliability they used to enjoy.

Q: How many inches is the rear lip on these wheels for a BMW 5 Series.?
The wheels are staggered front(20×8.5) and rear(20×10) the offset is 18mm and bolt pattern is 5.120. They will go on my (E39) 5 series BMW. Can you determine how many inches the rear lip is going to be or is more info needed?

A: pretty wide wheels, you’d be lucky if you rolled the fender wells and the the wheels would tuck in (and of course got stiffer coil/springs to compensate)

better option would be to have the fenders flared out by a body shop

where’s you get the rims, off of a M5?

A: Pull up on it, HARD. It can sometimes be hard to get off but keep pulling.

Q: How do I get a new key for a 2000 BMW 5 series?
I’ve lost all the keys of my car as well as title. I need a new key for my BMW 5 series (2000). What proof of ownership will I need to show in the dealership? Will they give me a key without first seeing the car or do they need the car? Is there any other place becides dealership where I can make BMW key? Thank you .

A: You will have to get a key from the dealer. If you do not have a business relationship with them, they should require you to prove you own the car. If you have had them work on the car previously, they probably would only require a driver’s license to verify you are the person who there records say owns the car.
If they do not know you or the car, they should require proof of ownership which would nornally be the title. If you have lost your title you need to get that replaced anyway.

Q: What is the correct tyre pressures for Bridgestone Potenza 225/50R17 in psi on a BMW 5 series?
Hi, I have a used BMW 5 series which has Bridgestone Potenza 225/50R17 tyres (run flats) all round. Can someone tell me the correct tyre pressures in PSI for front and rear tyres…Thank You.
3 answers and 3 different answers. Come on guys give me an answer that’s consistant….

A: Following the recommendations posted in the driver’s door pillar is the right procedure. But the low tire pressure in front is disconcerting to some drivers.
If you can stand a tiny little bit of roughness in riding comfort, then you can increase the front tire pressures to 36 or 38 psi. You would hardly notice the roughness but could possibly gain a little more mileage due to less rolling friction.
If you are a stickler for rules then just stay with manufacturer’s recommendations.

Q: Why are the bmw 5 series cheaper than the 3 series?
I’ve been looking at 3 series bmw’s around the 1996-2000 models and you can get them for around 9-10 grand with about 150km on them. But I’ve noticed that you can get a more luxurious bigger engine 5 series for around the same price or cheaper. Is there more problems with the older 5 series? or do people just prefer the 3 series? cheers

A: Who ever is selling you a 1996-2000 BMW 3-series for $9,000- $10,000 is royally ripping you off. The current national MSRP pricing for a used 1996-2000 3 series model is like $5,000 -$7,000 depending on the condition. The 2002-2005 BMW 3 series are the ones selling for $9,500-$12,500. The 5 series is known to have a very poor depreciation value, you can get a 2004-2005 BMW 5 series for as low as $14,500-$17,000 nowadays. The 5 series is already on its 6th generation of the sedan, indicating the depreciation value would go down for an old 1996- 2001 BMW 5 series. The 1997-2003 BMW 5-series is the 4th the generation of the sedan until the new one debuted in 2004 and ended in 2010 of this year, the current and Newly redesigned 2011 5-series hit the streets about 2 months ago and is selling for National MSRP of $44,550 which undercuts its previous 2010 Predecessor by $2,000, this is clearly a sign. But then again I just noticed you said “cheers” so I’m starting to assume you meant €9K-€10K Euros, not dollars??? lol

Q: What do you think of the new BMW 5 series (pictures released about a month ago)?
Hi, there is a new style coming out in March this year (2010) – what do you think of the new style of the new BMW 5 series? It’s coded the F10 and you can see it on the BMW website. Not sure myself, even though I am a keen BMW enthusiast.

Q: Does the BMW 5 Series 2005-2006 has a rear camera for parking ?
I want to know if a BMw 5 series 2005-2006 has a camera while parking and those sensors of driving and stuff

A: Hi Dany,

There is no rear camera available at all for that age of 5 series model.
There is however PDC (Park Distance Control) which has the sensors in the bumper(s) which give an audio warning when parking close to objects. On some models you also get a graphic display on the i drive showing the car and any nearby obstacles.

Hope that helps, Pyth

Q: How much would a certified pre-owned BMW 5 series cost to lease or finance?
I have recently acquired a steady cash flow and I would like to either lease or finance a 2006 or 2007 5 series.

I would like to know how much people usually pay a month for one.

Thanks for the help!

A: Not a bad idea, one of the best cars that they make. . .

The true rating though for you payment is all based on your credit score I bought an E39 in 2006 and I pay $540 a month, my friend also bought an E39 and pays $700 a month. . .

but to answer your question anywhere between this area is reasonable. .. But I have heard of people paying as much as $800-$900 brand new
