1997 BMW 5 Series 523i review from UK and Ireland

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Alarm system replaced.

Part of fascia panel replaced because of rattle.

Faulty seat-belt buckle.

Faulty cup-holder.

General comments?

I expected to have no problems - but BMW's are 'human' after all!

Best saloon car I've ever driven.
