1990 BMW 5 Series 535i review from North America
"The best car ever made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, really. Some wear and tear items.. I had the suspension replaced and put in performance shocks/springs. I also had to change a front left control arm. The transmission is good for 250,000 miles.. a miracle of engineering, really. The car runs great; it doesn't burn oil, and the compression is like new. I just love it.
General comments?
It's the perfect car. Stylish, safe, comfortable, performs well, handles well.
