1991 BMW 5 Series 525i review from North America
"Worth the purchase"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Many blown bulbs. One fog light, one tail light, one brake light (that randomly stops working), and three dash lights.
General wear for an older car, but still in excellent shape.
General comments?
Very pleased with this car. I got it for a great price, and I've yet to have any large scale mechanical faults.
Excellent performance. Great handling.
Reverse takes a moment to kick in, which is odd for an automatic.
Interior is very well laid out, minus the lack of cup holders.
The heated seats are a plus, especially for the winter driving.
