I wanna get a BMW 5 Series!?

I want to buy a BMW E34, 525i, but im concerned about the running costs of these machines... If possible can some one tell me how much fuel they go through a week and how reliable they have been for them?

Thanks!!!

Dear Danny,

BMW cars are always well maintained around the world and mostly owned by affordable crowd.

Timely service,oil change etc.

rarely u find unreliable cars.

However u pls check the service records and make yourself happy first.

Take to a known good mechanic and have him inspect and test drive and then give his opinion of the condition and of any repairs required in the near future and also the estimated cost.

BMW cars very economical on long distance/highways.

Town use is not that economical.All depends which city u live.

Fuel cost depends on how much your travel per week and if in town,you will feel little pinch.

why not try 520i ,if u are on budget for fuel.

BMW cars are very powerful and reliable,luxurious with class..

There is always warning b4 breaking down.so dont ignore the warnings.

Wishing u the best to be a BMW owner soon.

The 5series has areally good driving ability. It is really a fast car. However this comfort and sportivity has a cost. This car is a heavy drunker and uses more than 15 litresof petrol for 100km. This is a minimum as as you get further in the 5series (518,520,525,540,m5) it becomes more and more drinker. I won`t be suprise if the 525i uses more than 18litres. In fact all car that has an aptitudefor fast driving uses lot of petrol. For example, a subaru impreza wrx sti uses on average 18litres for 100km. The bmw 5series is however very reliable and its not the type of car to breakdown easily. it`s realy a nice car and if you can afford the running cost, i suggest you to buy it.
I would personally not get a 525i. It is a bigger car than the 325i with the same engine so it gets a lot worse gas mileage. I used to have an old body style 540 that I loved. Only problem with that is the bigger engine uses more fuel. I currently have a 325i (2006) and absolutely love it. If you are willing to get a little bit smaller car, the 325i or 330i is the one to go with. Just remember, all BMWs require premium gasoline so they are not the cheapest to keep on the streets.
if you like speed, then try to go up the next trim, as it will give you more horsepower... but if that is not a factor, then go for it. its a nice car with reliability.
Hey Danny R - First...BMWs are great performance cars......Also had a Mercedes Kompressor....loved it, great gas mileage, but the service prices were a big "ouch". on your wallet...Had a 99 BMW, an 04 BMW...and guess what....these are absolutely, without a doubt, the best cars...and the engineers keep tweeking the car to make it even better.....I think they have outdone themselves in 06 %26 07... ..Second, .... Skip the 5 series...just bought the newer and wider model - a 325i 2006 (it was a service loaner with only 10K miles - I saved bunches)...this car is much wider and has more interior goodies than the 04 model. I did not get the all-wheel drive and this, coupled with a tad smaller engine than the 5 series, is another way to save fuel. Also, from a gal's point of view...the 5 Series is for old guy bankers....kinda like the guys who order Manhattans. (sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings)
Both local and freeway combined: 20-22 mpg
