1999 BMW 5 Series 520i review from UK and Ireland
"BRILLIANT"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, apart from failing to start one morning. The previous night I had turned the key, but not started it, and it apparently flooded!!
General comments?
Brilliant car, a little underpowered at the bottom end, but the engine is so smooth and creamy, it's no hardship revving it... I LOVE it!!
