1992 BMW 5 Series SE review from UK and Ireland
"A high comfort and high performance bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far.
General comments?
What a fantastic motor!
I have only had my car 3 weeks but have found no surprises. I bought it with one minor fault* and none have since surfaced.
It drives like a dream, the acceleration is more than adequate - serious power when you need it, in 3rd 4th or 5th gears. The acceleration seems to go on forever with a huge power band - plus noticeable surge above 4,000 revs.
And what a great looking engine.
It is a car I want to invent journeys for, just to drive it.
*The minor fault is a non-operating air flow slider (for the side vents) hardly a worry!
