1992 BMW 5 Series 525i review from North America
"Too expensive to maintain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The fuel pump had to be replaced 2 weeks after I bought the car.
The rear window shorted out as well as the locking mechanism, had to replace the whole door.
General comments?
Pretty good car, it's just a pain to maintain.
Handles like a dream, corners great, sounds excellent when cruising, turns heads.
Not a car to have if you are in college.
