Yes, like any other car on the market-- which is not a category BMW used to occupy. They used to offer a product distinct from the rest, separated by driving experience.

I briefly got excited by your username, as the e39 530i really is a solid driver's car. Feelsome R&P HPS steering, linear, responsive NA power, rwd, manual trans available, no synthetic/artificial sounds. Plus, a 3470 lb curb weight for a 5 series-- including a full size spare tire!
