1989 BMW 5 Series 535i review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent high-cred auto stormer on a budget"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far.
General comments?
Fantastic handling and very sporty performance, even with the automatic transmission.
Rapid and stylish. Car is red with black leather and air-con and really looks the part.
These cars are now fantastically cheap to buy (and run if you get a knowledgeable specialist).
They handle better than anything in their class, especially the 300E (unless you get the Sportline option).
Fuel consumption pretty good for a 3.5 litre six cylinder engine.
Ensure you get one with a top specification (aircon, leather, full service history, good colour such as black, silver or red).
