1984 BMW 5 Series 525e review from North America
"The ultimate driving machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump, radiator, thermostat casing, seats are wearing down (leather).
General comments?
This is the best car I ever bought so far. It is built like a real car. High fuel efficiency vehicle and dependable. The engine is intact and so far so good. If you ever have the chance to buy one, buy it, you won't regret it.
