1995 BMW 5 Series 525se review from UK and Ireland
"Expensive good ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air con failed after re-gassed, very expensive to fix
three cylinder heads
radiator
brakes
tyres wear very easily at front
odd electrical problems.
General comments?
I bought the car with high mileage with a view to re-furbish, but car was totally un-reliable having been dealer serviced up-to 150k!
Stick to low mileage cars!!
The ride and performance is very good though, but should be for a 30k car.
