1988 BMW 5 Series review from North America

"Fantabulous"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Rotten water lines and water pump. Pretty good when all you gotta do is change out rotten lines. Sun roof. and passenger rear window will not go up and down..Electrically. Driver seat broken. (me, fat-man)

General comments?

My only disappointment is that they do make them like this any more... I have had the greatest sevice out of this little car.. thirty miles to the gallon, sexy. sweet. Motor excellent, accerlation, changing gears, excellent.
