1990 BMW 5 Series 525 i review from North America
"A reliable surefooted fun car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have replaced a radiator hose.
I have replaced the oil pan gasket.
I have put new rotors and pads on it when I bought it.
General comments?
I love the road handling, and incredible dependability and low cost of operation. I have found local BMW only mechanics and parts stores on the internet and rarely need either.
