1995 BMW 5 Series 520i SE review from UK and Ireland
"Fantastic cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gearbox mode indicator in the instument binnicle failed.
Rust on both front wings behind the front wheel arch.
Failed to start one morning.
General comments?
I love these cars. Big, beautifully made and they still look great 13 years after launch.
Rust on my car is disappointing but will be fixed under warranty.
520i auto is tardy low down, but once the engine is breathing it flies.
