Used 2008 BMW 5 Series for Sale

I do not care for the placement of the cup holders at all. It's as if the positioning and size were an afterthought and do not accommodate coffee mugs from home. Ironically, a Starbuck's cup fits just fine. I also do not like the color of the vehicle or the paint itself. The paint is dull and drab in comparison to other manufacturers, and lacks any shine even when professionally detailed and squeaky clean. Speaking of which, I've never required a clay bar detail to remove oxidization before on any other vehicle I've owned, and given the price I paid it is really not fun to spend $200 rather than a quick wash at home. The floor mats are flimsy and cheap, not a plush carpet. I also couldn't understand how a vehicle made in South Carolina could have black leather seats and zero window tint. The stuff could fry the skin off a small child. The only other gripe I have is, there is no dipstick to check the oil level, and while the onboard oil info is handy, seeing the color and oil level on a dipstick is believing. The only other minor irritation I have is, the AUX ports are inside the armrest console. I leave the wires in there and have to strategically close the armrest just right or risk damaging the wires.

One thing I didn't like about the vehicle was the price point. I bought the 2008 model in 2011 and paid as much for it used as I would have for a brand new vehicle of another make. It has been pretty reliable, but several unexpected repairs were very costly including a repair to a vibration under the hood and some kind of dislodging of the sun roof which seem to be pretty common problems with the 5 series after I looked around a little online.
