1985 BMW 5 Series 528i review from UK and Ireland
"A high performance monster of a car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing other than routine servicing.
Fitted new tyres.
Fitted new springs front and rear.
General comments?
Superbly engineered car.
Fast as heck but heavy on the fuel, 30mpg is the most I have got out of it!
The growl of the engine and 'aircraft take off type acceleration' are too addictive!!
Interior trim is a bit fragile (but then mine is 15 years old!!!)
