2000 BMW 5 Series 523i
Summary:
Never buy it again
Faults:
When I'd just got this car, the ABS unit had gone so needed to change the ABS control unit, water pump, and the radiator (the old one was strangely deformed).
The new radiator is leaking now, there is a tiny hole in it, so the new radiator is needed.
The back wiper has gone, don't know what is wrong yet, the sun roof stopped working, and now the engine is leaking!
General Comments:
Great to drive, looks great, but terrible quality and extremely high costs to have it running.
Any time I need to use this car, I think "what will go wrong this time?"
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

The clicking noise on startup is cold, dry tappets, should wear off once the engine is warm.
