1994 BMW 5 Series 525 review from UK and Ireland
"A large luxury car with economy and reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first had the car the a rear wheel bearing collapsed within two weeks. cost me £100 to get repaired with a non BMW replacement.
The MOT failed on a leaking fuel injector which was a pricey £300 to repair as a BMW only part.
General comments?
The car is very comfortable and built for a long motorway drive.
Delivers excellent fuel economy at 70mph returns 40mpg+.
The torque dies a little at mid range, but pulls like a train from a standing start and has plenty of power for motorway overtaking.
