1984 BMW 5 Series 520i review from Australia and New Zealand

The car is in great condition with full service history, electric fuel pump makes a never ending buzzing noise, have been told that eventually will need to replace but it will get a lot louder before its needed. The radio still drowns it out in the front.

95 kph and upwards it gets the meanest shakes (driving under this). It's a dream and feels like a great cruising car.

Runs on premium unleaded. Or adding the additive; same price in the end. I'm lazy so just use premium.

Her name is Daisy cause if you don't drive her right she lets you know. Changing gears at the wrong time will leave the person behind you in a small cloud of light grey smoke.

Drivers seat is worn and it seems most 5 series are of this year, but it is still not bad to sit on after you get used to the springs in your ass.

Heater doesn't work. Could be very simple, haven't had it checked, will get it going for summer when it's very useful.

Fantastic car to drive, fuel is pretty good, I forget when I fill it up around 2-3 weeks BTW fills. Driven everyday.

I enjoy her drug dealing look and dark shark front.

I have not had any problems starting her in the morning, first time every time.

Big boot.

She can move if you want to push it. Can leave it in 2 and 3 gear till you're on 100kmph and then the overdrive in 5 makes fuel not so much of a problem.

Handling is OK; for her age this car is a rock. I don't see any reason to get a new one. I don't think she will ever stop. Battle on little Beemer!
