1991 BMW 5 Series 518i review from UK and Ireland
"Not for fast drivers therefore needs tender loving care"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust fell off, £116 to replace.
Windows stopped working, still to replace.
Central locking collapsed.
General comments?
The car is not quick, probably because it's a 1.8L engine dragging a heavy car.
However, fuel is economical, if handled carefully, you can get approx. 25 MPG.
Handles well on corners and is very comfortable (for short people), limited engine noise from the cabin. Limited space for rear passengers.
Therefore boot space is huge, can easily fit loads of luggage (2 large suitcases)
