Depends on your budget. I would say get the 2005 BMW 5 series. The 525 and 530 models has 3.0-liter inline-six engine which is a monster compared to 1 and 3 series. It consumes more gas but you will feel its power on uphill terrain or long straight drives. It has 215 to 255 horsepower and comes either with a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission. It has side impact airbags, Dynamic stability control and 4-wheel disc brakes. It also has a strong resale value if you decide to sell it someday.
If you think the 5 series is a bit expensive, then you can try the 3 series. The 2008 BMW 3 Series includes four-door sedans, wagons, two-door coupes and convertibles in 10 distinct models, not counting the extra- powerful M3s. All the standard 3 Series cars are powered by BMW's familiar inline six-cylinder engine, and all-wheel drive is available. It's really a choice of body style and engine power.
Minimally, all 3 Series cars come with automatic climate and headlight control, a climate-controlled center console, heated windshield washer nozzles, rain-sensing wipers, a power moonroof, 10-speaker AM/FM/CD and BMW's self-braking Dynamic Cruise Control. BMW's Active Steering system and radar-managed Active Cruise Control are available as stand-alone options on all 3 Series variants, as is a DVD-based navigation system . The convertibles add knee airbags that help keep front passengers from sliding under the seat belts.
Active safety features, designed to help the driver avoid collisions, include Dynamic Stability Control and the latest generation antilock brakes. All of the 2008 3 Series models are different. In general, these are the largest 3 Series cars ever. Overall, the 3 Series coupe is a bit longer and lower than the sedan, and not as wide. With standard xenon headlamps, its front light clusters are smaller. In profile or front three-quarter view, the 3 Series Convertible closely resembles the coupe. All feature BMW's adaptive brake lights, which are based on the idea that drivers in the cars following a 3 Series will know when the 3 is braking hard.
