1986 BMW 5 Series M535i review from UK and Ireland
"A soon to be appreciating classic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to have the head redone at 110,000. Partly my fault because the water pipe hose split and caused it to overheat.
Seats have been changed and re done.
General comments?
Wow what a car. Its great looking (Metallic Dark Green) and really goes and is reliable.
It is very thirsty and the original TRX tires are hard to source. My sits on 17" ones now.
