1988 BMW 5 Series 530 SE review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New clutch at 82k.
General comments?
Rather frustrated at the BMW dealer who charged for a new exhaust manifold due to difficulty in removing the exhaust. £700 to replace a clutch?
Apart from that has proved reliable. The performance is reasonable at higher revs but can feel rather sluggish at times
