1997 BMW 5 Series 528i review from North America
"A great car for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needs a drivers window regulator.
Did fist oil change myself.
Changed air filter.
General comments?
This is THE Ultimate Driving Machine! It handles incredible for any car, but absolutely amazing for 153600 miles! The materials are all quality, and I would have no reservations about taking this car anywhere. Mine is Aubergine (dark plumb, which is a very rare colour) over Sand beige heated leather. I have Digital Sound Processing 12 speaker factory unit with a 6 disc changer in the trunk. Overall it has held up amazingly for being ten years old. SO, SO happy that I traded the SAAB for this beauty.
