1991 BMW M5 review from North America
"An amazing 4 door supercar"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump - 120,000kms.
Rngine oil seals - 150,000kms.
General comments?
This is the best Bimmer I have ever had. I think about replacing it with something newer like a 540i or 740i, but the car is such a joy to drive and is rare. I may never part with it. The maintenance is a little high but it is worth the effort to keep this car properly maintained.
