1993 BMW 5 Series 525i SE Auto review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only a dead battery, but that caused the on board computer to say all sorts of things! When new battery was fitted, suddenly computer said all was okay again!
General comments?
BMW's and dealers are fantastic. Cheap to buy second hand, cheap to insure, service, with good fuel economy.
Auto means the car is swift rather than fast, but the 5 speed auto is one of motorings all time greats.
Super smooth motorway express with enough poise to hold it's own against sporty Fords and Vauxhalls through the bends.
Only thing better is M5...
