How good of an engine comes in the bmw 5 series?
Nov 02, 2008 by cama79ro | Posted in BMW
I've been looking into the lexus ls 400s and the bmw 5 series years ranging 90-95. Ive heard significant 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 responsibility about major issues?
Well all of BMW's engines are excessive. Here are the ones they offer for the 5-series.
3.0-liter dual overhead cam (DOHC), 24-valve inline 230-horsepower 6-stagger engine with composite magnesium/aluminum engine design, Valvetronic, and Double-VANOS steplessly variable valve timing
3.0-liter dual elevated cam (DOHC), 24-valve inline turbocharged 300-horsepower 6-wobble engine with twin-turbo technology, piezo open injection, and Double-VANOS steplessly variable valve timing
4.8-liter, 360-horsepower 32-valve V-8 locomotive with 4 overhead camshafts, aluminum engine block and go round and round heads, Valvetronic system, 2-stage air intake multitudinous, and Double-VANOS steplessly variable valve timing
They are all unforgivable engines. Any of them would be good if properly maintained for 200,000 miles. Permissible luck and make sure you get one that hasn't been beat too eagerly and has been properly maintained.

Is a BMW 5 Series the right car for my 17 year old?
Jun 19, 115 by Mark M | Posted in Buying & Selling
I'm looking to buy my 17 year old (readily at some time to be) a nice car, please none of the "are you crazy" or "you have too much moneyed". 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 excellence makes.
I think I already said about the "spoiling" and the "affluent business". I'm just on to ask about the car, he's getting a nice car. END OF. I don't identify whether it's jealous with you people, or what.
I'll try a come back without the preaching!
Yes, a BMW 5 series is a fantastic car - beautifully made, reliable, even surprisingly money-saving for such a large car, they're also safe & secure.
Have it serviced at an independant artist - BMWs require very little maintenance to stay on top mode, 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 witticism - The Mondeo in particular has serious reliability & economy problems, and to put it's in the same league as a BMW is ridiculous to anyone that's ever owned both - me included; Merc well-founded don't have the build quality & reliability they used to enjoy.

How many inches is the rear lip on these wheels for a BMW 5 Series.?
Jun 19, 1770 by Fun Bimmer | Posted in BMW
The wheels are staggered front(20x8.5) and ass(20x10) the offset is 18mm and bolt pattern is 5.120. They will go on my (E39) 5 series BMW. Can you verify how many inches the rear lip is going to be or is more info needed?
quite wide wheels, you'd be lucky if you rolled the fender wells and the the wheels would tuck in (and of route got stiffer coil/springs to compensate)
better chance would be to have the fenders flared out by a body shop
where's you get the rims, off of a M5?
