1990 BMW 5 Series 535i review from North America
"Nice car, but over rated by people"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have replaced the fuel tank, rear brakes, coil springs, lkm module, and various tune up items. Minor rust has been repaired on the bottom of fenders, aroung the fuel door and door sills. Just getting the bugs worked out for my wife to drive.
Interior (navy leather) showing a little chaffing, but in good shape.
General comments?
The car handles well for a stock vehicle.
The power is nothing to go crazy over, but is OK.
The cabin fit is good. I am 6'4", 280lbs.
The original Arctic Blue paint is like new.
