2002 BMW 5 Series 530i review from North America
"So good, that if you have the opportunity to purchase one you should"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The passenger side cup holder broke.
The holders for the window shades broke off when my younger brother messed with it.
General comments?
I had to replace the passenger side taillight recently after sliding out on a 90 degree turn on a dirt road. Just for the record, that turn was the only piece of the road with gravel on it.
This car handles like a dream and accelerates hard, especially with the manual engaged. The stock sound is more than adequate for the average person.
My favorite hing to do before a test day is to role down the windows and sun roof, switch into manual, and tear up the road.
