1996 BMW 5 Series 528 ASE review from UK and Ireland
"Fantastic car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Airbag Wiring loom failed
Front ball joints worn
Front discs needed replacement (not pads)
Door seal driver side.
General comments?
This car restimulated my interest in driving cars again. Quick, comfortable and surprisingly economic.
Returned 34MPG on a trip to Scotland recently which for is amazing for it's size.
Still feels like the same car I purchased 4 years ago.
