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? (asked by cama79ro on November 02, 2008)
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 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. (answered by mazsecond on November 03, 2008)
A: They may look good but they are horrible on gas being that it has 12 cylinders. (answered by Hinzster on November 02, 2008)
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. (asked by Mark M on February 05, 115)
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.

A: Man that is one lucky kid of yours. Its not jealously dude. But you are coming on Yahoo Answers to ask a question like that. If you have the money to buy your son an expensive luxury car, then you should have the brains to know whats a good car for him. Nobody is jealous but the truth is not everyone is brought up with a silver spoon in their mouth. (answered by thee midniter on February 05, 420)
Q:
How many inches is the rear lip on these wheels for a BMW 5 Series.?
The wheels are staggered front(20x8.5) and rear(20x10) 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? (asked by Fun Bimmer on February 05, 1770)
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? (answered by viggom35 on July 03, 2009)
