1982 BMW 5 Series 520i review from UK and Ireland
"A classic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Won't start, changed the HT leads and the distributor cap.
General comments?
A great car to own, one of the first early E28's, the car was purchased due to my previous 525e being written off by the insurance company after an accident.
The 520i is now in storage and will be prepared to show condition. For a car of almost 19 years old there is no rust on it. I intended to keep it as original as possible.
