2000 BMW 5 Series SE review from UK and Ireland
"Great chasis,great engine, great ride, great car."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far.
General comments?
Great car, a very smooth engine and much more peformant than my 528i.
It has comfort seats which are among the best I've experienced.
It runs quietly and is a pleasure to drive.
The air conditioning (climate control) works, but is not to the standard expected on a car of this class.
It costs more to run that a 528 but I knew that when I bought it and I just wanted a V8.
