Broken fan clutch.
Back box blew.
Faulty battery.
Needed new tires.
This car is a very fast motor which I took up-to 150mph before putting the wind up myself and being forced to slow down.
It's a great runner with plenty of go right from the start even though its automatic.
The full leather interior give loads of comfort with plenty of room for the back seat passengers too.
Great in the summer with a great air conditioning unit and great in the winter as there is a temperature control for both sides of the car allowing you to control the right temperature.
Plenty of boot space for when you go traveling which in my case comes in very handy for me and my family.
The cruise control is fantastic. With the car being automatic it allows me to turn it on at 25mph and it will itself resume the speed that was previously set, i.e. 70mph. It saves a great deal on fuel too.
In my opinion these cars with the 3.5 engine are really made for long journeys as around town it only does about 15-17mpg.
Well since I wrote this review in 2004, I have just got rid of my 530I after it had done 265000 miles, because the head gasket has just blown, and I don't think it was worth sorting.
Other than that, the car had not let me down once. Not bad for a car that only cost me £1000 3 years ago, and I had driven all those miles in.
