1991 BMW 5 Series 525i review from North America
"Comfortable with excellent reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
O2 Sensor needed replaced
Sun visor spring broke
Lower door trim rusted
General comments?
Best car I have ever owned and much cheaper then my last car to keep on the road. Car handles excellent and is and decent in the snow. The automatic transmission has been flawless and never hunts for gears. Very comfortable for long trips; I was driving 4 hours one way every weekend without fatigue.
