1999 BMW 5 Series 523 SE review from UK and Ireland
"Brilliant, best ever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Battery failed at 30,000mls.
General comments?
This care is the best thing since sliced bread. It has been well cared for since new and is my pride and joy.It`s smooth and silky engine is quiet and swift and despite its age (coming up for 7yrs) still has modern styling. Only wish I`d bought the 525 petrol which I believe has same engine with more power. But this car is still nippy!
