2010 BMW 528i
Aside from the 3 Series, the 5 Series is the most popular BMW lineup in the USA. When you look at the complaints (or lack thereof), it’s clear why. The 2010 BMW 528i registers an incredibly few number of complaints every year. You’re paying a premium for the 5 Series, so you expect quality manufacturing. But with the added tech features, you also expect stuff to break. Not so.
The base engine is a 3.0-liter V6 with 230 horsepower. The xDrive AWD is an available option, and a good one to choose. 10-way power leatherette seats are standard along with memory climate control, a 10-speaker audio system with two subs, real wood trim, a host of power features, and a cooled storage compartment. It’s certainly a great used BMW to choose.
2012 BMW Z4
Here’s a really good sign: the second-generation BMW Z4, from 2009 to 2017, doesn’t have a single complaint registered on CarComplaints.com. That’s truly impressive. The car itself is meant to be a blast to drive, and it is. Like any two-seater coupe or convertible, it’s all about the experience behind the wheel.
With the 2012 BMW Z4, that’s what you can focus on instead of worrying about breakdowns. You have a choice between a 240-horsepwer turbocharged 4-cylinder, a 300-horsepower 3.0-liter turbo, or a 335-horsepower 3.0-liter turbo V6. Whatever you choose, it’s going to be fun and reliable while seated in the lap of luxury.
2014 BMW X3
BMW also does a great job in the SUV market. The BMW X3 has been around since the 2004 model year with constantly improving reliability. It ups the ante in thee midsize crossover game, putting luxury into an otherwise mundane segment.
You get xDrive AWD standard on the BMW X3, and its features are abounding. Leather heated power-adjustable seats, power moonroof, awesome audio and a comfortable, spacious cabin are top of the range. It’s available in either a 240-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter variant or a 300-horsepower 3.0-liter turbo V6.
