1991 BMW 5 Series 525i review from UK and Ireland
"Understated bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The radiator leaked.
Seats have started to wear badly.
Sunroof can sometimes stick.
Rear windows tend to stick as well.
General comments?
Great cruising car, especially on long trips from Kerry to Dublin.
This car is seriously quick and handles like it's on rails, especially since it came with 17" 235 tires.
Its true what the sales person said to me "This car has a great set of lungs!", just gently touch the accelerator and it takes off.
