1992 BMW 5 Series SE review from UK and Ireland
"Comfort and style costs, can you Really afford it?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water-pump, radiator, and thermostat re replaced every 30,000 miles at £250 a time. I live with very hard water apparently!!
New shock-absorbers, coil springs and brake disc's every 25,000 miles. cost £800 a time.
General comments?
Having gone from a small 3-series 323i BMW 2-door saloon to a 5-series automatic BMW tourer it took a while to adjust to the loss of power.
I spend £1000's on replacing parts that wear out, but I have the car screaming and crying non-stop.
If ever you wanted a very comfy shed on wheels with a surge of extras and some power then you'll love this car.
I still get 45 miles-Per-Gallon at over 100,000 miles on my engine now so need I say more?
