  • I own a few BMW's, I have a 3 series and a 5 series. A co worker also as a 3 series. On occasion our ignitions have locked up. We simply turned our steering wheels to one direction and back to the other. Car started right up. Read More
  • Jon, This guy's story stinks! Don't ever buy a car with your heart,use your head! Tell him to call you when the car is fixed so you can hear and drive it. Then,walk away.Keep looking for your M5,his is not the only one.Good Luck.
  • Same thing happened to my car. Just turn the steering weal back and forth and twist the key. It should start right up.
  • Honey, this sounds like bad news. Attempt to buy or lease, new. :) Otherwise, find reputable buyers. perhaps via BMW forum and/or Kelley Blue Book.

Other Choices:

The Audi A6 Avant is the 2008 BMW 5-Series Sports Wagon's closest competitor, but the Avant only comes with the 255-horsepower, 3.2-liter V-6 engine, not the larger, 350-horsepower V-8 that's available on the sedan. As with the Sports Wagon, all-wheel drive is standard, though the Avant has a slightly softer ride, and its handling isn't as sharp as that of the 5-Series, nor does it offer such advanced technology features. The E-Class is offered only in 268-horsepower E350 trim, with standard 4Matic all-wheel drive, but there's also a wagon version of the exclusive, 507-horsepower E63 AMG performance model. Overall, the E-Class is a little roomier inside. The Saab 9-5 SportCombi is now a quite dated design. It comes with front-wheel drive and turbocharged four-cylinder power, and its powertrains aren't as refined as those of the other rivals, but it's packaged well, with excellent seats, plenty of headroom, and more useful cargo space.
