1993 BMW 5 Series 530i review from Costa Rica
"Dream sports sedan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The right back window stopped working, but after a while started working again slowly.
General comments?
The E34 5 series has a timeless design.
It is an amazingly fast car, just gas it and you will smoke any 2007.
You are driving a $50.000+ car for a fraction of that cost.
The amount of comfort features that a 14 year old car gives you is amazing. Some of them are not even optional in many new cars.
Even though it only has the driver's air bag, it makes me feel safe cruising with my family.
The only minor problem is the gas consumption. I only drive it in a very busy rush hour and it only makes 25km/g, but probably other cars will do around 32-35 in those conditions.
