2002 BMW 5 Series 525i review from North America
"Sheer driving pleasure-at a great price!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far, but it's still too early to tell!
General comments?
This is an excellent car!
Considering the price you pay, you get a great overall package. While the car only has 184 horsepower, it feels like it has 200! The lack of low end torque can be a problem while cruising around town, however. In addition, I had to wait an extremely long time, at least three months, for my car to arrive. This was made up for by the kindness I received at the dealership.
All and all, this car seriously merits your consideration.
