A BM W is truly the ultimate
driving m achine that provides the
ultimate driving experience to its
owners. No other car handles like a
BMW. You have to drive itto really
understand why it's called the ulti
mate driving m achine. BM W o ffi
cials confirm that 70 percent o f 5-
Series ow ners are men and say
BM W ow ners are people w ho love
to dri ve, love a sense o f control and
appreciate technology. L ike all
BM W s, the 5-Series is a car that’s
driven, not som ething you sort of
point in the direction you want to
by
go and then float over road sur
faces w ithout a sense o f being co n
nected to anything in the process.
You will revel in the driving perfor
mance. and cherish the moment you
can get hack on the road.
I driving the 525i iseffortless. The
active front steering in the 5-Series
is unbelievable. N othing seem s to
upset its kind nature. The high-
tech. ‘active steering' senses your
turning needs: based on the ca r’s
speed, that a lot o f turning is being
requested and autom atically ad
justs the steering ratio for quick
response. G one is the need to turn
and turn and keep turning the steer
ing wheel w hen exiting a parallel
parking spot. So you can get out of
just about any parking spot w ith no
fuss. It takes a w hile to m aster the
quick steering. The 525i has near
perfect 5O-5O-weight distribution,
w hich h elp s to red u ce w eight
sw ings as the car travels around
curves. Yes, effortless.
The 525i com es loaded with
equally impressive standard features
such as: dual front and side airbags,
front and rear side head-protection
airbags,antilock 4-wheeldisc brakes,
brake assist, antiskid system, rain
sensing wipersystem. Dynamic Sta
bility Control, active cm ise control,
tire pressure monitors, dual zone air
control, BMW Assist (emergency

and concierge serv ice) system, out
side-temperature display, a theft-
deterrent system, remote keyless
entry and so much more. The ¡Drive
is the only feature that is bit trouble
some. This system handles so many
features that it can absorb the dri ver’ s
attention from the road. The ¡Drive
has a joystick knob that works con
trolling most o f the key functions for
the entertainment system, naviga
tion, communication, climate con
trols and com puter data inform a
tional system . A lso available is
BMW's Night Vision, which projects
onto a dashboard screen images of
objecLs beyond headlight range, very
cool.
The 525i overall is the ultimate
luxury sedan. BMW owners expect
the ultimate driving experience and
expect to pay a premium price for that
pri vi lege. Howe ver, the average con
sumers must ask themselves; “Can I
afford to support my BM W 's pre
mium gas addiction?” and "How
much does it cost to replace those
run-fiat tires?” If you have the means
then the ends would be to step up
and lake the ultimate driving experi
ence in the ultimate driving machine.
If you are budget conscious but still
have the 'BM W N eed', this would
be a perfect lease vehicle.

between countries to keep out im m igrants

and Refugees, in which the Popecalled for
more laws to help im m igrants integrate.
"Speaking o f borders, I must unfortu

Bush defends the fence as necessary
