As I own Merc, Audi etc., I thought to buy 5 series BMW to take the advantage of 50% depreciation...

My charted accountant told me that, central government has extended the date of 50% depreciation on cars till Sept' 09 end.

As I own Merc, Audi etc., I thought to buy 5 series BMW to take the advantage of depreciation. I requested for a demo car.

The car features, comfort, safety etc. are same like Merc & Audi except flat tyre technology.

The vehicle ofcourse a wonderful metal piece.

But to my surprised the vehicle noise was high & there were minor vibration to body, but steering wheel was vibrating like typical heavy duty diesel vehicle (The said vibrations are totally absent in 7 series). I discussed the matter with vehicle representative; he told me it’s normal.

I don't know the vibrations were due a used demo vehicle or inherent.

It was shocking experience from 5 series BMW 2009 model.

.... Finally, I did not buy the vehicle.
